This plugin does exactly what I needed—blocks traffic from specific countries without any hassle. Super easy to set up, and it works flawlessly. I’ve seen a big drop in unwanted login attempts since installing it. If you’re looking for a simple and effective way to control access by location, this is the one to go for.
Huge thanks to the developer, Darko G., for creating such a useful plugin!

I am using this plugin to block all countries from the backend (except my own of course) and to redirect foreign visitors (bots) from my contact page with a form to another contact page without a form (to prevent spam). This all works very well!
The disadvantage is that the UI is rather poor and difficult to navigate.
Thank you for the plugin!

I tried many solutions, even hired developers and spent $$$$$ to create state blocking mechanism for my site and failed miserably. This plugin does that for us at very small fraction of the cost.
The developer is amazing, positive, replies fast and always ready to help.

I like the plug in however, sadly, it crashes Siteground’s Web Staging deployment system. So because of this, I will uninstall and look for another solution.

Great plugin to block countries. If you check logs on /var/log you can see that is really working.
good support from forum and regular updates.
sadly, mu-plugin option doesn’t seem to work fine.

Nice to see that this original plugin was taken over and updated and maintained. Compatible with hundreds of plugins we have tested. Extensive online docs and its on Github! Nice job, cannot say enough positive things about how this can assist and firewall or work standalone.

After much hair pulling on my part and time spent by Darko and crew, the issue was resolved. His hands-on approach to customer service is a testament to a developer who believes in his product.

Works fine. There are several configuration sections in the settings – front end block, back-end block etc. Make sure you do not get confused. If your are blocking by pattern/location use the recommended IP Location Block provider. Regarding pricing – currently this company offers the lowest pricing per page view. Tested several other plugins. Will be adding it to many sites of mine…If there are any issues will post a reply.

IP Geo Blockがベースとなっていて基本的な操作性は同じです。
このプラグインを使用する人の殆どはバックエンドのセキュリティ向上が目的だと思いますが、私は特定の国からの閲覧を禁止するフロントエンドのアクセス制限を活用しています。
例えばセンシティブな二次元ファンアートのように自国では合法だけれど他国では違法や好ましくないとされる作品や情報を公開する場合に、それらの国からのアクセスを禁止するといった使い方が出来ます。
国や都市単位でのアクセス制限に加えてUAやドメイン名での制限も可能です。
LiteSpeedを導入しているサーバはhtaccessによるドメイン名を指定したアクセス制限を利用できないことも多いため、それで困っている人にもこのプラグインはおすすめです。

This is an excellent tool for blocking unwanted visitors based on geolocation. Great logging and ability to block based on IPs, ASN etc. Easy access to further information on IPs (drill down) to facilitate blocking.
Different sources for geolocation data that maintain current county and ASN based databases.

Great work, thank you very much.

I installed the plugin yesterday and added GeoIP2. Thus far it is working to keep Russia, Ukraine, and India away from my website.

I think that the plugin is great if you install it on a simple site where you wont be using forms or active user involvement with content. Otherwise it is still buggy. It is not possible to set up exceptions. Well, it is, but they don′t work and makes this plugin useless in many cases. Other problem that came from its predecessor is, that often plugin will block your self when updating page content, forms and similar. So you have to deactivate it to do the work on the site. And finally it seems to be also abandoned, as the developer hasn’t replied to any support tickets for over a month.

The official IP2Location WP plugin states that it doesn’t work with cache plugins. So I almost gave up. But this plugin (IP Location Block) seems to do everything as it should even with cache, while utilizing IP2Location database (among others). I have to give it 5/5.

Thank you for providing an up to date version of IP Geo Block, and with easy migration of IP Geo Block’s settings!

Fully featured plugin which does everything you need. Plus a developer who is constantly available to provide rapid support & improve things.
Probably the best plugin available for IP blocking so far.

I was procrastinating deleting IP GEO BLOCK from my multisite for years, right up til the day I installed Elementor on the main site, but it wouldn’t work right.
Once I found out that IP GEO BLOCK was the culprit, I then discovered IP LOCATION BLOCK just in time to replace it.
Now all is well! A million thanks

Not a coder, but others gushed over ver1 of this plugin. If you are new to WP, or have you’ve used the other (10k+ still do) plugin that is no longer being developed, here’s your GEO block plugin. Read up, real deal.

So good to have someone finally step up and get the old IP Geo Block plugin working with support again – and supported by someone who is accessible and helpful. Thanks!!

I received an email telling me this had been released and immediately installed it. I’ve been waiting since the original IP Geo Block was abandoned for something to replace it.
Installed just fine and while I had a couple issues with getting the settings transferred from IP Geo Block and properly updated, it was up and working in an hour or so.
That said, probably anyone with the first clue about these things might not have had any issues at all. I am the first to admit my total ignorance about the technical details of how all of this works.
The supporter of this plugin immediately took care of the problem and it seems to now work just like the original.
Hats off to Darko for taking this over.
