Limit Login Countries

This plugin gives you the ability to limit WordPress admin logins based on the country the visitor’s IP address is located in. It uses Maxmind’s GeoIP database which comes in a free lite version.

You can choose between a white- and blacklist mode. In whitelist mode only visitors with IP addresses from the configured countries are allowed. In blacklist mode visitors with IPs from the configured countries are not allowed to login.
