Comprehensive Country Blocking for WordPress
IP2Location Country Blocker is a WordPress plugin designed to enhance security and manage traffic by blocking access based on geographical location. This plugin allows users to restrict access from specific countries or regions, including anonymous proxies, effectively reducing spam and unwanted sign-ups. It features a customizable 403 error page, email notifications for unauthorized access attempts, and statistical reports on blocked traffic, making it a useful tool for website administrators.
Supporting both IPv4 and IPv6, the plugin integrates seamlessly with IP2Location's geolocation BIN data or web service, providing flexibility in usage. Users can block traffic by country grouping, such as EU or APAC, and also have the option to whitelist certain search engine crawlers for SEO purposes. The plugin is free to use, although it is important to note that it will not function with any cache plugin enabled.
