<h3>Who Is This Plugin For?</h3>
This plugin is useful for:
<ul>
<li>Website owners who want to monitor traffic activity</li>
<li>WordPress administrators dealing with spam or bot traffic</li>
<li>Sites experiencing suspicious traffic spikes</li>
<li>Developers who want a simple IP logging and blocking tool</li>
</ul>
It is especially helpful for identifying suspicious activity and blocking problematic visitors quickly.
<h3>Blocking Behavior</h3>
When an IP address is blocked:
<ul>
<li>The visitor immediately receives a 403 Forbidden response</li>
<li>The request is stopped before WordPress loads the page</li>
<li>The blocked IP cannot access the site until it is unblocked</li>
</ul>
<h3>Country Detection</h3>
The plugin can optionally detect the visitor’s country.
Available methods include:
<ul>
<li>Cloudflare country header</li>
<li>Local MaxMind GeoLite2 database</li>
<li>Remote IP geolocation API</li>
</ul>
Country detection is optional and can be disabled.
<h3>External Services</h3>
The plugin can optionally use external services to determine the country of a visitor IP address.
These services are used only if the administrator enables remote geolocation in the plugin settings.
The following services may be used:
ipapi.co 
Service: https://ipapi.co/ 
Privacy Policy: https://ipapi.co/privacy/ 
Terms: https://ipapi.co/terms/
ip-api.com 
Service: https://ip-api.com/ 
Privacy Policy and Terms of Conditions: https://ip-api.com/docs/legal
When enabled, the visitor IP address is sent to the selected service to retrieve a country code.
No data is transmitted unless the administrator explicitly enables remote geolocation in the plugin settings.
<h3>Data Storage</h3>
The plugin stores the following information locally in the WordPress database:
<ul>
<li>Visitor IP address</li>
<li>Request time</li>
<li>Requested URL</li>
<li>User agent</li>
<li>Country code (if available)</li>
</ul>
This data is stored only on your own website database.
