I just have to say that this plugin is literally SAVING my website. I have been receiving reports about failed logins to my website (over 1k for 2-3 months!). I used a different plugin to find the IP addresses only to find that they all belong to only two countries... The plugin gives you the option to block specific IPs or countries. I started blacklisting IPs individually, but after figuring out where they are coming from, I just blacklisted those countries. Job done. Also to add because I see some reviews mentioning interference with other cache plugins (even though it's indicated in the description that they need to be disabled, which is not really the best solution), in my case, it still works with a cache plugin I use to improve my site's performance. Thank you!

Hi guys, I installed your plugin before I knew much about it and was only able to make this work after disabling our caching plugin: W3 Total cache. I see your disclaimer about disabling all caching plugin. I am asking politely, "Please explain to us why a caching plugin prevents your plugin from working?" Caching is kind of a big deal. Comparing the Benefits of a caching plugin - to a country location blocker - I would have to say the caching plugin wins hands down as the benefits of caching helps achieve SERP ranking by improving a website's performance. I provide a TEXT link .. ( not allowed to include an actual link in a review. ) so others can see these caching benefits that I'm talking about. wordpress.org (forwardslash) plugins (forwardslash) w3-total-cache It is for this reason I give your product 2/5 stars... it works, but not without being disruptive of our website's performance.

Absolutely brilliant plugin. Easy to install, and started working right away. One of my websites has been getting slammed for the last 5 days with a bot from one specific country. Installed the plugin late last night, and the visits from that country are already down from more than 6,600 an hour to less than 150. I have also just lowered the threshold for the plugin to start blocking front end visits from a specific IP to a much lower number, and that seems to be catching most of the ones still slipping through. Very happy with the result so far, so will be installing it on the other 4 sites I own. Thanks so much for this. It's really made my day a lot less stressful 🙂

Could not make the plugin work with the latest version of Wordpress
12 de agosto de 2023
I installed this because I noticed that every time I installed a new WP website, the site immediately reveived tons of visitors from a specific country's search engine before it had even gone live and I had even made my first post. On an altogether different site, it turned out that the biggest trolls were non-Americans, even though my site was US-centric. I wasn't sure whether or not this plugin would work (I keep being told that it's oh, so difficult to block countries, practically impossible), but it does seem to be working. I noticed that failed login attempts went down to zero overnight, and that most of my visitors started coming from the US. Understand, though, that this plugin isn't 100% failsafe, as bad actors can also access archives of your site from the Wayback Machine or use VPNs and proxies. But it seems to do the job so far, and I'm crossing my fingers that it'll keep working in the future.
