My service is local only and the fact that I can restrict access to my country or state only (using the paid version) is so helpful to stop unwanted spammers!! Bonus, the fact that you can restrict access to the WordPress Login form for only my IP Address is great for added security! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/59c783cecd3542621fb3a81a2fd7bb99ec546f9aefcebbd0d64bab943d0dd84a? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Terrible – Shouldn’t be listed as public.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/terrible-shouldnt-be-listed-as-public/)󠁿 [gsc89](https://profiles.wordpress.org/gsc89/) 14, Ochobre de 2021 1 reply Makes you sign up for an account on a 3rd party website instead of allowing you to just manage settings from the WP admin area. The website it sends you off to tries to make you use URL’s to send a user to when they are blocked instead of just allowing you to show some simple message like “access is blocked” The reason this gets 1 start is the 3rd party website signup which is completely unnecessary and feels like a data farming excuse and a reason to try and push to to buy a subscription to the “pro” version. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/3e8ceefd9ce507c06ad1ea4736e38f77f2cdf7a4e11255acead7e8f1e975dafb? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Saved us Time](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/saved-us-time/)󠁿 [starsdelights](https://profiles.wordpress.org/starsdelights/) 26, Xunetu de 2020 This plugin has saved us a lot of time and headaches, dealing with hackers and spammers!
