Editor's Note
- This extension requires registration to download.
Version 1.2 is free. Free version is GPLed too.
This module has been updated to support Joomla 1.0x/1.5x/1.6x. IP to Country data files are updated to Jan, 2012.
I needed to block some countries for a technology site to reduce the chances of design ripoff and cloning. I paid my $10 for the extension, set it up in a matter of minutes on my Joomla 1.7 site, got a little mixed up with block and allow settings, mailed the developer and got clarification in under an hour. Works like charm and can also be run completely invisible.
I had some spammers coming in from another country, so with this module I was able to block them out. Of course they could use a domestic proxy server, but I use RS Firewall to supplement this. Really easy to set up, and if you publish the module to "show no country", you won't even see it on your page. Nice work. Thanks.
would be usefull for denying the access to the backend, will reduce the chances of a web deface
