How to block domestic users in WordPress

How does WordPress block domestic users

Some foreign trade companies will choose to block domestic IPs from accessing their own foreign trade websites. Possible reasons include: preventing domestic competitors from knowing their products, etc., because some domestic companies do engage in unhealthy competitive behavior of plagiarism. Also, if a foreign trade website uses Adwords for promotion, domestic user clicks will not only not generate orders, but will also increase Adwords advertising expenditures.

If we use the popular foreign CMS program WordPress to build a foreign trade website, we can block domestic IP access to our foreign trade website through simple settings. For example, today we will demonstrate blocking through a WordPress plug-in iQ Block Country Domestic IP access website.

First, we install the iQ Block Country plug-in in the backend of the WordPress website.

Click the Frontend menu of the plug-in to set the specific country IP address to be blocked. We can select China in the Select the countries that should be blocked from visiting your frontend menu.

The website blocks Chinese IP access, how do we view (set up) the website ourselves?

To block domestic IP, we can choose to check Do not block visitors that are logged in from visiting frontend website in the second step of the settings, so that we can view (set up) the website by logging in to the backend.
