By default, all access is allowed until you configure specific rules to whitelist or blacklist logins by explicit IP addresses or entire countries. This plugin is highly effective at stopping massive botnet brute-force attempts before they strain your server resources. ### 🔒 Core Features (100% Free) * **IP Restriction:** Allow or block specific IP addresses (supports local loops like 127.0.0.1 and IPv6). * **Country Restriction:** Whitelist or blacklist entire countries from accessing the authentication filters. * **Independent Logic:** Run IP rules only, country rules only, or combine both together for maximum security. * **Smart Redirects:** Configure custom behavior to automatically redirect restricted traffic back to the front page. * **XML-RPC Protection:** Secure authentication methods beyond standard web forms. * **Data Portability:** Quickly export and import your security settings, and check status details for debugging. ### 💎 Take Your Security Further with Pro **Login IP & Country Restriction Pro** adds: * Additional rule types * Redirect restricted login (404 or 403 with a custom message) * Lockout duration and individual user lockout * WooCommerce integration (automatically allow the countries of new customers) * Bypass the IP and country restrictions for specific roles * Single IP login per user * Simulate an IP or country to test your rules [Explore Login IP & Country Restriction Pro ](https://iuliacazan.ro/wordpress-extension/login-ip-country-restriction-pro/) _Important Safety Note:_ Please ensure you always configure the plugin to allow your own IP address or country before locking down settings so you do not accidentally lock yourself out! ### License This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. ## Skærmbilleder [⌊Main configuration dashboard for login restriction rules and XML-RPC methods.⌉⌊ Main configuration dashboard for login restriction rules and XML-RPC methods.⌉[ Main configuration dashboard for login restriction rules and XML-RPC methods.

Upload the `login-ip-country-restriction` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory. 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress. 3. Navigate to the new settings panel to set up your allowed IPs and countries. ## FAQ ### Do I need a third-party API key for this plugin to work? No. Out of the box the plugin uses the PHP GeoIP extension when it is available on the server, otherwise the free ipapi.co lookup. Optionally, you can add API keys for the geolocated.io, ip2location.io or geoplugin.net services in the integration settings. The lookup method that works for your server is remembered for a few hours. ### My site is behind Cloudflare, what should I do? Enable the option to trust the Cloudflare visitor IP (HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP) in the IPs settings. Enable it only if the site is really behind Cloudflare, because otherwise visitors could spoof that header. Sites that were already using the plugin keep this enabled until the settings are saved. ### Can I block both an IP and a country at the same time? Yes. Both types of restrictions work entirely independently of one another. You can restrict by country, whitelist a few specific external IPs, or use both methods simultaneously. ### Help! I locked myself out. What do I do? If you accidentally lock yourself out by misconfiguring your country or IP whitelist, don’t panic. Simply log into your server via FTP or hosting File Manager, rename the plugin folder from `login-ip-country-restriction` to `login-ip-country-restriction- temp` to temporarily disable it, log back into WordPress, rename it back, and correct your configuration. ## Anmeldelser ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d298ee618edc144f7025ac87ddd5c57b35f23cf2370321087c0138f9fb21d449? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Does what it needs to do](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-what-it-needs-to-de/)󠁿 [polfre](https://profiles.wordpress.org/polfre/) 5. juli, 2026 Simple in use and does its job ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b7ffc57891e893bf72fe02883fc8c691a26fe68ac74f8a3811b0bf233655d627? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great plugin – works wonderfully](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-works-wonderfully-2/)󠁿 [dany84](https://profiles.wordpress.org/dany84/) 10. november, 2025 The plugin stopped all bot attempts to log in onto my website, and I am no longer invaded by notifications of those failed attempts. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8cae88355d56606013b26a6b845fda86fdf8e8b0f699b35cd7e475be4c90ba1f? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-40900/)󠁿 [laszlobartucz](https://profiles.wordpress.org/laszlobartucz/) 2. oktober, 2025 We use a hosting service that oesn't allow for easy country restrictions – this plugin is our saviour. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/9d908288d23f4379a903465e16a0540e1f02c4a23c9d0303b05cef01039eda05? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[partially working](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/partially-working-12/)󠁿 [blackossian](https://profiles.wordpress.org/blackossian/) 11. september, 2025 it seems it doesn't block South Africa ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/03137cce9470b164a98a6bcac85cc4e9993081e16b06046887f9c6f3a9fa6add? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Not working anymore](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-working-anymore-265/)󠁿 [eevan79](https://profiles.wordpress.org/eevan79/) 28. august, 2025 Edit: Rating changed because the add-on has been updated and now works.

From another plugin came the hint with GEO blocking by IP, then I came across this plugin and then had everything blocked except for my own country. Finally only 1-2 per day.
