 * I’ve been searching around….but the available plugins for this are either poorly
   reviewed or not specifically for this purpose.
 * I want to block certain countries from my sites completely.
 * Is there a better way to do this than to alter the htaccess files for each site?
 * Thanks in advance!

 * I handle security at a site where I have all but USA, Canada and Ireland blocked
   dynamically by paying what I consider a very reasonable fee for the premium version
   of Wordfence Security:
    [http://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=Wordfence+Security](http://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=Wordfence+Security)
 * Even the site’s host agreed that adding something like 45,000 lines of htaccess
   was just not a very good idea!
 * note: Keep an eye out for this anonymous proxy: `108.59.0.0 - 108.59.15.255`

 * Oh cool, I’ll give that a shot….
 * I agree the htaccess file was going to be kind of crazy…
 * Thank you very much for your advice.
