CountryLock

Àpèjúwe

CountryLock provides a simple, lightweight way to allow or block countries from accessing your WordPress site.

ItÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s designed to be “set it and forget it” with no upsells, ads, or complex configurations.

✨ Key Features

• Master Toggle: Enable or disable the firewall with a single click.
• Allowed Countries List: Specify which two-letter country codes (e.g., US, CA) are allowed. Everyone else is blocked.
• Admin Bypass: Logged-in administrators can always bypass the block (toggleable).
• IP Allowlist: A simple list of IPs or CIDR ranges (like 123.45.67.89 or 10.0.0.0/8) that are always allowed.
• Block Logging: See which countries and IPs are being blocked (toggleable).
• Zero-Lookup Detection: Automatically uses Cloudflare (HTTP_CF_IPCOUNTRY) and other common server-level GEO headers for instant decisions with zero performance impact.
• Remote Lookup: As a fallback, it can query an external service (ipapi.co) if no headers are found.

External Services

This plugin uses one external service as a fallback to determine a visitorÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s country if no local GEO headers (like those from Cloudflare or a server-level GeoIP module) are present.

• Service: ipapi.co
• What itÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s used for: To look up the country of origin for a visitorÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s IP address.
• Data Sent: The visitorÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s IP address is sent to the service. This happens only if the “Use remote lookup if no geo headers” setting is enabled AND no local GeoIP headers are detected.
