Call On Mail UsControl website access by visitor country using a local IP geolocation database, with safety bypasses, diagnostics, and controlled database updates.
Uses a local IP geolocation database for visitor country checks, so normal enforcement does not require a third-party lookup API call.
Administrator, WordPress endpoint, and verified Googlebot bypasses help keep legitimate access and site administration available.
Country database updates are administrator-controlled, with diagnostics and import tools available when you need to refresh the local data.
The screens you will actually click through after install. No hero image repeats here.
Geo Lockdown lets WordPress site owners allow or block countries using IP range data stored in the site's MySQL/MariaDB database. Country lookups run locally on your server without external API calls during enforcement.
Country enforcement is based on the visitor's public IP as mapped by the local database. VPNs, proxies, Tor and similar services can present an IP from another country. No IP-only system can guarantee a person's physical location.
The optional database-update feature connects to DB-IP only when an administrator explicitly requests a database download. Visitor lookups are performed locally after the database is imported.
Choose whether selected countries are allowed or blocked from visiting the public site.
IPv4 and IPv6 country lookups run against data stored in your WordPress database instead of calling an API for every visitor.
Keep wp-admin and wp-login accessible, bypass trusted administrators, and optionally allow verified Googlebot traffic.
Inspect detected IP information, bypass reasons, lookup timing, and test an IP directly from the settings screen.

Everything you need to know before installing country-based access controls on a WordPress site.
No. Country lookups are performed against the local MySQL/MariaDB database. The only documented external connection is the optional administrator-triggered DB-IP database download.
Yes. The plugin supports both allow-list and block-list modes with a searchable country selector.
wp-admin and wp-login.php are bypassed. Logged-in administrators can also bypass restrictions by default.
Yes. Trusted proxy/CDN headers can be configured, and Cloudflare source ranges are validated before those headers are trusted.
When enabled, Googlebot is verified using reverse DNS and forward confirmation. A User-Agent string alone is not trusted.

No. Geo Lockdown stores geolocation data in MySQL/MariaDB tables.
The restriction is based on a public IP-to-country mapping. VPNs, proxies, Tor and similar services can make the mapped country differ from the visitor's physical location.
This is not a ticket that lands in a void. Someone on this team wrote the scanner you just ran, and they still read what comes in.
Walk us through the last thing you did before it failed. We will look for the conflict with you, not send you a canned reply.
If you caught yourself wishing it did something else on a client call, tell us. Those notes from real shops shape the next version.
Ask before you run a cleanup on production. A five-minute question now is cheaper than rolling a live library back on Friday.
Found a bug after a scan, need a change, or have feedback before this goes on a client site? Send it over. We read these ourselves.
