Geo Blocking

Block attacks by country. Or allow only yours.

Brute force attacks are concentrated in specific regions. BruteFort’s geo blocking lets you cut off entire countries from your login page — in blacklist mode or an airtight whitelist.

Blacklist

Block specific countries. Everyone else gets through.

Whitelist

Allow only selected countries. Everyone else is denied.

CHOOSE YOUR MODE

Blacklist or Whitelist — pick the right tool for your site

Blacklist Mode

Block access from specific high-risk countries. Everyone else retains access. Best for globally-distributed sites that see attack spikes from specific regions.

Best for: Global sites, international audiences

Whitelist Mode

Allow only explicitly approved countries. Everyone else is denied access entirely. Maximum lockdown for regional or single-market sites.

Best for: Regional sites, single-market businesses

Note on accuracy

Geo blocking relies on external IP geolocation APIs. While very accurate for most countries, VPNs and proxies can bypass restrictions. Use it as a strong first layer, not an absolute barrier.

Block entire regions with one click.

Enable geo blocking, select your countries, and save.
