Hi,
We currently do not offer the ability to block users from registering like you describe. We’ve had others ask so it could appear in a future release but I can’t guarantee it or give a timeframe. Here is a link to a previous post with a possible workaround. Hope this helps!

Hi Brian,
Thanks for that,
As the name implies, ‘Wordfence’ is a security wall to help protect against such matters right?
So why, being probably the biggest issue with WP users, does it not offer what I feel should be such an intrinsic and important aspect of this plugin?
I feel sure that including such a control, many users would be running o your door (figuratively speaking) to buy a key.
Please, would you raise this mater with you colleagues for inclusion?
Many Thanks
@rik0399: Yep, we’ve added your input to our internal system, on the previous feature request that Brian had linked to above. The reference number for this feature request is FB873. When we get more requests for a single feature, it’s more likely to be implemented, but we get hundreds of requests, so they are prioritized based on a number of factors.
The premium version does have the ability to block traffic from selected countries altogether. Although it won’t help with the email addresses from specific countries if they are signing up from a non-blocked country, a lot of spam sign-ups do come from other countries that might not be part of your site’s intended audience. (If you want more details on this you can email us at presales (at) wordfence.com )
Thanks for your input!
