Hi. I have good reasons to prove there is a scammer in Africa posting listings and trying to scam users in my listinghive site. I want to block all users from Africa to access my site so I can prevent this thing from happening maybe. Could anyone please give me advise on how to do so?
Thank you!
Whilst this isn’t a HivePress specific issue, you could look into using a plugin like WordFence to block users from certain countries from accessing your site. They offer various free tools to help improve site security, however their specific Country Blocking feature is part of their premium features meaning you’ll need to upgrade to use it.
There’s certainly other approaches you could take, but they’ll likely need more maintenance going forwards. (i.e keeping and updating a list of known spam/scam IP addresses to block.)
I hope this helps!
Cheers,
Chris
