Geosec is a lightweight security plugin designed to protect your WordPress administration panel (<code>wp-admin</code>). It works by detecting the visitor’s country using their IP address and allowing access only if they are in your “Allowed Countries” whitelist.
This significantly hardens your admin panel against brute-force attacks, bot login attempts, and unauthorized access from foreign countries.
<h3>Key Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Whitelist-based Protection: Only allow access from specific countries.</li>
<li>Emergency Key: Create a unique URL to bypass the lock if you are traveling.</li>
<li>Cloudflare Compatible: Works seamlessly with Cloudflare and standard server setups.</li>
<li>Detailed Statistics: View logs of blocked attempts and valid logins, including Top Blocked Countries and IPs.</li>
<li>Lightweight: Optimized for performance, querying external APIs only when necessary and caching results.</li>
</ul>
