blog and perhaps only leave spam comments or other harmful actions than this is the plugin for you.

a HTTP/403 error with the standard message "Forbidden - Users from your country are not permitted
to browse this site." The message is customizable an can be styled with CSS.
If you only want to block other countries from visiting your backend (administrator) website than this plugin is also something for you.
If you want to block users from both your frontend website as well as your backend website than this plugin is really something for you!
Users that are blocked will not be able to do harmful things to your blog like post comment spam.
You can block all visitors from a certain country accessing your site but you can also limit access to some pages, or some blog categories.
