Click the Activate button. A new secure menu item named "Geo-Blocker" will appear in your WordPress admin sidebar.
Go to the Geo-Blocker dashboard, select your protection scope (Frontend/Backend), choose the countries to block or allow, and click Save Settings.
Yes. The free version on WordPress.org includes country whitelist and blacklist modes, IPv4/IPv6 allow and block rules, frontend/backend/both protection scopes, a local GeoLite2 database, SEO bot bypass, Cloudflare support, a custom block message and a log of the last 100 blocked attempts.

No. Google, Bing and Yahoo crawlers are automatically allowed through, so search engines can always reach your content even if you block the country they crawl from. Read How to Block Countries in WordPress for details.
Yes. Set the protection scope to Backend. Your public site stays open to everyone while bots from other countries never see your login form. See How to Protect wp-admin by Country and IP.
Yes. The plugin reads Cloudflare and proxy headers to detect the visitor's real IP address, so your rules apply to the actual visitor, not the proxy.
A VPN can hide a visitor's real country. Yeasin Geo-Blocker Pro adds VPN and Tor blocking plus rate limiting for stricter protection.
No. Country lookups use a local GeoLite2 database on your own server, so there is no external API request on every page view. Pro keeps the database current with automatic weekly MaxMind updates.
Always add your own IP address to the allow list before enabling strict rules. If you get locked out, rename the plugin folder in wp-content/plugins using your hosting file manager or FTP to disable it, then fix your rules.
