Geosec<\/strong> is a lightweight security plugin designed to protect your WordPress administration panel (wp-admin<\/code>). It works by detecting the visitor's country using their IP address and allowing access only<\/strong> if they are in your \"Allowed Countries\" whitelist.<\/p>\n\n

This significantly hardens your admin panel against brute-force attacks, bot login attempts, and unauthorized access from foreign countries.<\/p>\n\n

Key Features<\/h3>\n\n
    \n
  • Whitelist-based Protection:<\/strong> Only allow access from specific countries.<\/li>\n
  • Emergency Key:<\/strong> Create a unique URL to bypass the lock if you are traveling.<\/li>\n
  • Cloudflare Compatible:<\/strong> Works seamlessly with Cloudflare and standard server setups.<\/li>\n
  • Detailed Statistics:<\/strong> View logs of blocked attempts and valid logins, including Top Blocked Countries and IPs.<\/li>\n
  • Lightweight:<\/strong> Optimized for performance, querying external APIs only when necessary and caching results.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Upload the geosec<\/code> folder to the \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> directory.<\/li>\n
    2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.<\/li>\n
    3. Go to Settings -> Geosec<\/strong> to configure allowed countries.<\/li>\n
    4. IMPORTANT:<\/strong> Add your CURRENT country to the allow list before activating the protection.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
      \n

      What happens if I lock myself out?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

      If you configured an Emergency Key, you can use the special URL (e.g., yoursite.com\/?geosec_bypass=YOURKEY<\/code>) to gain access. If you didn't, you can manually rename the geosec<\/code> folder in wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> via FTP to disable the plugin.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      Does this slow down my site?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

      No. Geosec caches IP geolocation results for 24 hours. Subsequent requests from the same IP are instant.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
