シンプルでとても良いPlug-inですね。 次の目的で導入しました。１．取り引きの無い国
からのアクセス抑止。２．不正アクセスを抑止するウェブサイトのセキュリティ対策。 次
のウェブサイトで動作確認し、目的が果たせることを確認できました。locabrowser.com 
要望）国別のチェックボックスが多すぎるので、チェックリストは大きなエリア毎の分類
でチェックできると良いと思いました。例えば、世界地図上のエリアをクリックして選択
する方法。 … This is a simple and truly excellent plug-in. I implemented it for 
the following purposes:1. To deter access from countries with which we have no business
dealings.2. As a website security measure to deter unauthorized access. We verified
functionality on the following website and confirmed it achieves the intended purpose:
locabrowser.com Request:The number of country-specific checkboxes is excessive. 
It would be preferable if the checklist could be organized by larger geographic 
regions for easier selection.For example, a method where users could select regions
by clicking on a world map.

I use Geo Visitor Control plugin on my WordPress website for few weeks now, and 
it really help me. I like that I can block traffic from some countries, because 
before I have too much spam from bots. Now it is more clean and easy to manage. 
Also it works good with other plugins I already have. I didn’t have any problem 
so far, and it works just like I expect. It’s a very helpful

Love this plugin! I was looking for a way to block visitors from certain countries,
and this did the job perfectly. My website runs faster now and I get fewer spam 
visitors. no more random traffic or spam. It just works!

I use it to block traffic from countries I don’t work with. It helps reduce spam
and strange login attempts. The setup is easy, and I like that I can choose which
countries can see my site. My website is now much faster. Want to say thank you 
to developers for this great plugin! I would like to have more useful features in
the future!
