Introduction

IP Blocking, Access & Security, URL Redirection, Geotagging

IP2Location Country Blocker provides geo-restriction and redirection capabilities using IP geolocation technology. Block or redirect visitors based on their country with support for both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.


Features include:
1. Dual operation modes - block with custom 403 error messages or redirect to specified URLs;
2. Three lookup methods - IP2Location.io API, or offline IP2Location BIN database (supports all formats from DB1 to DB26 including ASN and district data);
3. Smart IP detection - automatic detection of real visitor IP behind proxies, CDNs, and load balancers with support for Cloudflare, X-Forwarded-For, and custom headers;
4. Administrator bypass - backend access remains unrestricted;
5. Multi-country selection - block multiple countries simultaneously.

This extension is ideal for compliance requirements, fraud prevention, geo-targeting, and region-specific content delivery. Developers can easily extend functionality to leverage additional geolocation data fields including region, city, ISP, ASN, district, and more available in the IP2Location database.

Functionality
Blocks or redirects a list of countries. 4 stars because no individual rules for individual countries can be specified.
Ease of use
Very basic functionality, simple to use. For updating the IP database, a file must be replaced on the server manually; that could be easier
Support
Documentation
Documentation does not say how to update the IP database, had to find that out myself..
I used this to: Temporary redirecting users from some countries until some legal issues are fixed.
