IP Location Block is a WordPress geo blocking plugin for blocking or allowing visitors by country, US state or equivalent region, IP address, CIDR range, or ASN. Simple view covers common rules. Advanced view adds login, registration, comment, XML-RPC, bot, response, logging, privacy, provider, and diagnostic controls. For the recommended setup, connect the IP Location Block Cloud provider for premium, frequently updated data, better country accuracy, ASN data, and state or region precision. WordPress geo blocking by country, state, or region Use a blocklist to deny selected locations or an allowlist to limit access. Regional rules use the administrative area returned for a country, such as a state, province, prefecture, territory, or region. This supports regional availability, service areas, store access, and site policies. Country rules remain active when precision is unavailable. Key features Block or allow visitors by country and state or equivalent region. Add priority rules for IP addresses, IPv4 or IPv6 CIDR ranges, and ASNs.
