Login IP & Country Restriction

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 81% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

At the current install trend, crossing 9K+ in roughly 128 days.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   The plugin stopped all bot attempts to log in onto my website, and I am no longer invaded by notifications of those failed attempts.

   We use a hosting service that oesn’t allow for easy country restrictions – this plugin is our saviour.

   Edit: Rating changed because the add-on has been updated and now works. This plugin uses the geoplugin.net service, which is no longer free, so the plugin no longer works either. This is a message: “geoPlugin API is no longer available for free use. To continue access, please upgrade to a paid plan” This topic was modified 10 months, 3 weeks ago by eevan79. Reason: Plugin updated

   I had an increase in incorrect login attempts, it started with a few and then quickly escalated to over 600 per day. From another plugin came the hint with GEO blocking by IP, then I came across this plugin and then had everything blocked except for my own country. Finally only 1-2 per day. Thank you

   I have installed this plugin few months ago and it was working really well. However, in the last couple of days there have been many visits from the blocked countries to the wp login page. Please update the plugin IP database ASAP! Thanks!
