IP Geo Block Dev seems dead, alternatives to consider?

Hey, it’s really disappointing to see IP Geo Block stalled on development updates.
Reading on its support channel here, it seems many, like myself, have reached out to see it’s current state, but it seems to hit dead ends.

Has anyone used or can recommend any alternatives?
I have seen some listed here:

Would appreciate any responses for alternatives to consider.
Thank you,
Darren.
