<p>This plugin restricts access to the login page of your WordPress Admin based on the location of the user trying to access it. Restricting access in this way can be a useful way of reducing unwanted login attempts.<br />
To get the location of the user the plugin gets the IP address of the user attempting to access the login page and geo-locates their location by using a geolocation API, currently there are three options available to use:</p>
<ul>
<li>IPStack: http://ipstack.com</li>
<li>IPGeolocation: https://ipgeolocation.io</li>
<li>OpenLiteSpeed’s local GeoIP variables</li>
</ul>
<p>Please note: an active API Key is required for <code>IPStack</code> and <code>IPGeolocation</code> for the plugin to function correctly. You can register a free account at either of the website addresses above. Please note they offer varying amounts of location API requests for their free and paid plans, it may be necessary to upgrade to a paid plan to provide an increased amount of requests if your site gets a huge amount of login attempts. The <code>OpenLiteSpeed’s local GeoIP variables</code> option can be used if you are using OpenLiteSpeed server and have a properly configured geolocation database, more information about configuring that is available here: https://docs.openlitespeed.org/config/advanced/geolocation/#enabling-geolocation</p>
<h3>Example usage:</h3>
<p>Enable the plugin and access the “RC Geo Access” page in the Settings menu in your WordPress Admin to configure the required settings. Note: an active API Key is required for this plugin to function, currently there are two external Geolocation services available to use, you can choose from either ‘IPStack’ – http://ipstack.com and ‘IPGeolocation’ – https://ipgeolocation.io as the geolocation providers. The <code>OpenLiteSpeed’s local GeoIP variables</code> option can be used if you are using OpenLiteSpeed server and have a properly configured geolocation database, more information about configuring that is available here: https://docs.openlitespeed.org/config/advanced/geolocation/#enabling-geolocation</p>
