This plugin is a scam. They will lock your website and force you to sign up for their paid subscription

Plugin was easy to install & setup with an API key for the database update. Doesnt impact my website loading speed. Recommended.

Plugin seems to work in reverse

mikejj101 March 18, 2023

Hi all, I’ve installed this Country blocker in a hope of stopping all the bogus registrations we get from Russsia. At first I locked myself out of my website as the selection boxes seem to work in reverse. If you tick a box – it blocks that country – where as the instructions say to tick a box to allow it through. Has anyone else found this ? It seems to work well but in reverse to the stated setup. Also – the plugin does not add your country to the allowed list
