 * Hi
    Could you add very useful feature – in my opinion – to your excellent plugin?
   I’m facing right now lots of attacks at my website from Russian IPs I’d like 
   to block all traffic from Russia, that would be great if you give me chance to
   do so. Is it difficult to implement? Cheers

 * Yes, your post kind of did answer my question but still don’t know how to deal
   with attack from one specific country.
    I mean – I understand all arguments against
   that approach but what should I suppose to do if I have like 100 site lock outs,
   one by one and all of the IP numbers are Russian’s?

 * Use a geoip blocking plugin like **iQ Block Country**
 * Or even better hide\change your WP Dashboard login page url.
    And make sure the
   new\hidden login url is not exposed by your site. This will also prevent brute
   force login attempts from other countries…
