Using IPGP Geolocation, you can redirect users in specific countries to another URL. You can add different redirect rules that applies to different countries and different URLs.
After installation, go to IPGP Geolocation menu in your wordpress administration panel. There you can select which countries you want to apply the redirection for, and set a redirection URL. Add the rule and it is done.
To get the user location, the data is send to IPGP Geolocation API, located at: http://www.ipgp.net/geo/country.php . The API is free for fair usage. There is no private data sent to any external server. The data exchanged between the plugin and the API are: your visitor IP Address without other details about the visitor, and API key to be identified on the server and your website URL. The data sent back by the API contains the visitor country code, country name.
When the plugin is activated, an API key is requested from the API website. The data sent to the API servers contains the current time, and a public number to make sure that the API key is requested by the plugin. The data sent back contains the API key, a secret key for authentication and the number of queries allowed for fair usage. Fair usage consist in 20,000 queries per month. This number is subject to change based on the load on our servers.

Advanced Country Blocker helps you secure your WordPress site by restricting access based on the visitor’s geolocation (country) or IP address. Upon activation, the plugin detects the activating admin’s country and automatically sets that as the only allowed country. All other visitors from different countries are blocked, unless they use a secret key parameter to temporarily whitelist their IP. Country detection uses the privacy-friendly ip-api.com service by default but can be switched to a fully offline MaxMind GeoLite2 (or compatible) database file once you configure a local copy.
Key Features:
<ul>
<li>Automatically allows the admin’s country on plugin activation.</li>
<li>Flexible IP-to-country lookups – start with the built-in ip-api.com integration and optionally switch to an offline MaxMind GeoLite2 Country (or compatible) <code>.mmdb</code> database file.</li>
<li>Allowlist or blacklist mode – choose whether the country list acts as an allowlist or blocklist without re-entering countries.</li>
<li>Temporary access via a customizable secret URL parameter (e.g., <code>?MySecretKey=1</code>).</li>
<li>CAPTCHA Challenge – allow blocked visitors to solve a CAPTCHA to gain temporary access (supports Google reCAPTCHA v2/v3, hCaptcha, Cloudflare Turnstile).</li>
<li>Real-Time Activity Monitor – live dashboard showing active visitors, recent blocks, and traffic statistics.</li>
<li>Analytics Dashboard – comprehensive charts and statistics about blocked attempts.</li>
<li>Manual blacklisting and safelisting of IPs for added security and to accommodate uptime monitors.</li>
<li>Optional email alerts when new visitors are blocked.</li>
<li>Admin bypass so logged-in admins can always access the site (toggleable in the code).</li>
<li>Detailed logging of blocked attempts in a custom database table, displayed in the WP admin.</li>
<li>Custom response controls – personalise the block page title/message, choose the HTTP status (403, 410, 451) or redirect to any URL.</li>
<li>Automatic log cleanup with configurable retention plus a one-click “Clear Logs” button.</li>
</ul>
Use the plugin settings page (Country Blocker menu in WP admin) to configure the list of allowed countries, blacklisted countries, blacklisted IPs, and whether email alerts are enabled.
