Privacy Policy

This plugin uses third-party geo-location services to determine visitor countries:
* ip-api.com – Privacy Policy
* ipinfo.io – Privacy Policy

Only IP addresses are sent to these services to determine the country. No other personal data is transmitted.

The plugin caches geo-location results locally to minimize external requests.

Does this affect SEO?

No! The plugin automatically allows all major search engine crawlers (Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc.), so your SEO won’t be affected.

Can I allow specific users while blocking their country?

Yes! You can whitelist individual IP addresses which will override country blocking.

Does it work with CDN services like Cloudflare?

Yes! The plugin automatically detects the real visitor IP behind proxies and CDN services.

What geo-location services are used?

The plugin uses free geo-location APIs (ip-api.com and ipinfo.io) to determine visitor locations. No API key required.

Will blocked visitors see an error?

No, they see a customizable, friendly block page explaining that access is restricted from their location.

Convenient and Awesome

WorkflowDone Geo Blocker strikes the perfect balance between simplicity and functionality. The free version offers everything most users need for basic geo-blocking, while the supporter upgrade provides advanced features at an incredibly reasonable one-time price (no recurring subscriptions!).

Whether you need geo-blocking for compliance, licensing, security, or content restriction purposes, this plugin delivers. The developer clearly understands WordPress users' needs and has created a solution that's both powerful and accessible.

The responsive support (I've contacted them twice with questions) and the active development make this plugin a reliable choice for the long term. Highly recommended for anyone needing geo-blocking functionality on their WordPress site.

Geo Traffic Blocking made easy

By temo1221 on January 4, 2026

I have tried other plugins and this one works the best. It allows to customize block page (default one already nice), it allows to accept crawlers despite of the geo ip blocking, it does not need any external api keys like other plugins do. For me the best.

Easy to use and Customize

Setup is incredibly straightforward, even for non-experts, and it handles CDNs like Cloudflare without issues. Highly recommend for anyone needing quick geo-restrictions—efficient and reliable from day one.
