Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

The geo block service allows you to block visitors from your website based on their geolocation. This is possible by redirecting blocked visitors to a URL of your choice.

Specifically, you can block visitors by country, state, region, city, latitude-longitude-radius zone, and IP address. The block can be applied throughout your website, a particular sub-directory of your website, or an individual page.

Please Note: It is possible to bypass geo blocking by using a VPN or disabling JavaScript in the browser.
