Hello, I now decided I want to block a whole country from viewing my website.

Has anyone ever done this?

Is there a plugin that can do this?

How do I find all the IP address for a given country?

Thanks 

This is not something you would do in the IPS software itself.  You would want to do it either at the server level or with a cloud-based WAF.  

Cloudflare, for example, makes this very easy to do.

Just go Security, then WAF, and from there you can set up a rule to block an entire country code from accessing your server.

 

Just be sure you've carefully considered the implications, and you are certain you really want to do this.

(You can also block TOR exit relays via the country code firewall rule)

As mentioned, you can only really do this at a server level. There is nothing within the software itself that would allow you to do this. If you are unsure, you would need to contact your hosting company for assistance.

You Could have course block IPs using the ban settings, but that will not stop them getting to your server in the first place. It will simply stop them registering

Thanks for all this information 🙂

Cloudflare is a great option for me. Thanks @Makoto
