## Description

**Geosec** is a lightweight security plugin designed to protect your WordPress administration
panel (`wp-admin`). It works by detecting the visitor’s country using their IP address
and allowing access **only** if they are in your “Allowed Countries” whitelist.

This significantly hardens your admin panel against brute-force attacks, bot login
attempts, and unauthorized access from foreign countries.

### Key Features

 * **Whitelist-based Protection:** Only allow access from specific countries.
 * **Emergency Key:** Create a unique URL to bypass the lock if you are traveling.
 * **Cloudflare Compatible:** Works seamlessly with Cloudflare and standard server
   setups.
 * **Detailed Statistics:** View logs of blocked attempts and valid logins, including
   Top Blocked Countries and IPs.
 * **Lightweight:** Optimized for performance, querying external APIs only when 
   necessary and caching results.

 * **Configuration Panel:** Easily select allowed countries and enable protection.

 * **Statistics Dashboard:** View detailed logs of blocked activity.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `geosec` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
 3. Go to **Settings -> Geosec** to configure allowed countries.
 4. **IMPORTANT:** Add your CURRENT country to the allow list before activating the
    protection.

## FAQ

### What happens if I lock myself out?

If you configured an Emergency Key, you can use the special URL (e.g., `yoursite.
com/?geosec_bypass=YOURKEY`) to gain access. If you didn’t, you can manually rename
the `geosec` folder in `wp-content/plugins/` via FTP to disable the plugin.

### Does this slow down my site?

No. Geosec caches IP geolocation results for 24 hours. Subsequent requests from 
the same IP are instant.
