Leírás
GeoShield Access Manager allows you to easily block visitors from specific countries.
You can add or remove multiple countries from the WordPress backend.

„Your country (XX) is blocked from viewing this website.”
This plugin works with a lightweight IP lookup API and includes:
- Admin settings menu: Blocked Countries
- Add unlimited country codes (ISO format)
- Remove countries dynamically
- Frontend blocking of selected countries
- Custom block message page (auto-generated)
- No theme files required
- No coding skills needed
Perfect for website owners who want to control traffic based on location.
Features

- Easy backend interface for adding/removing countries
- Uses free IP geolocation service (ip-api.com)
- Automatically generates a block page with a friendly message
- Does not affect admin dashboard access
- Simple, clean, and lightweight (Hello Dolly style)
