 * I have a site that I’ve been working on for awhile now. After looking around 
   on my analystics i found out that my site is visited by a lot of “people” from
   the Russian Federation. They basically make up 40% of my hits. My employer is
   worried that they may be trying to hack into the site (Even though no security
   alerts have gone off) My site is designed for only the people in my local area(
   its a community center). Is there anyway to block a country through a good plugin?
   I’ve been thinking about getting an API key for Wordfence and using their Country
   blocking. But before i spend any money i wanted to makes sure there isn’t another
   option. So any recommendations?
