Great functionality for restricting or allowing access to content.@brstefanovic is developing the plugin and adding to its functionality.I hope that in the future he will implement the ability to localize the interface into other languages. But even now, the plugin is easy and convenient to use and configure.Thank you, @brstefanovic.

Looks like this works quite well with the other tools I use. I use uptime robot to monitor my site and disabled their servers’ countries; the service has apparently been alerting for a few hours now. I went ahead and re-added it, but it’s good to know this actually works, even if it throws a 403.Would rather see an http error 410 or 418 instead of 403.

Effective and powerful country/ip blocker, where others have failed, this plugin worked flawlessly and without issues. As an improvement to the plugin, I would suggest having an option to modify the blocking message and another to redirect to a custom URL.

I just installed this and it seems to be working quite well. This was the only plugin I could find where you could *allow* only certain countries without jumping through some hoops to install a geo database.

So far beyond simple. I only wanted the US to access my website because its the only place I ship to and I get a ton of attacks from other countries. Within minutes my logs showed 3 other countries had already been blocked. I also have WordFence so I can see incoming traffic so it will be neat to see if this blocks the bulk of other countries. With high hopes I thank you for making this plugin!

Since my earlier review I had a problem with a foreign site that I needed to block. This plugin is so easy to use and so fast that it saved me a lot of heartache. This is a must have! The improvements in 2.0.2 are nice and for me seem more functional. If you are still open to suggestions, I think it would be helpful to sort the allowed or blocked countries alphabetically when you load the plugin. Once you add a dozen or so following your list becomes a little difficult. Just a suggestion and not a must have. Thanks for being so responsive.
