 * I would like to block countries other than US for a particular website I manage.
   I am currently using WPForms free version. How do I block forms submitted coming
   from someone outside the US?
 * I have a IP blocker on the site but have to manually add the IP to blacklist.
   Help appreciated.

 * Hi [@sharon135](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sharon135/),
 * Currently we don’t have the feature to block form submissions by countries. I’ve
   made a note of the feature request and we’ll keep it on our radar as we plan 
   out our roadmap for the future.
 * In case it helps, you can use [security plugins](https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/best-wordpress-security-plugins-compared/)
   to block general access to your site by countries.
 * Hope this helps!

 * I am currently using Loginizer/Brute Force but I don’t think it has the ability
   to block by country or regions.
 * I have looked over possible plugins. Which one has worked best for you?

 * Hi [@sharon135](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sharon135/),
 * Unfortunately I’ve not worked with the security extensively to make recommendation.
 * However the [WPBeginner article on security plugins](https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/best-wordpress-security-plugins-compared/)
   offers helpful details and comparison between the different options, so hopefully
   that helps!

 * One last question for now. Does your plugin identify the top level domain when
   someone from let’s say @xx.ru email is used on the form? I didn’t see any smart
   tag for something like that. My host provider was wondering about that as a means
   of blocking either through your plugin or DNS route in control panel.
 * Hope you are able to add a blocking feature option at some point. I used securi
   security before. Not certain if that will help block countries. Also, Wordfence
   premium at $90/yr is the only route for blocking countries. Thanks for your input.

 * Hi [@sharon135](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sharon135/),
 * Currently we don’t have the built-in option to identify top level domains in 
   the plugin.

   plan out our roadmap for the future.
 * Thank you for the suggestion!
