Dream Country Blocker

Introducing Dream Country Blocker: Secure de-koro.com from Unauthorized Access

I recently faced a significant challenge: de-koro.com was inundated with attempts to break into the login page. To tackle this issue, I developed a custom WordPress plugin named Dream Country Blocker. This plugin is designed to block or allow traffic from specific countries based on a configurable whitelist or blacklist. Below, I’ll walk you through the key features and functionality of this plugin.
Plugin Details

Plugin Name: Dream Country Blocker
Description: Block or allow countries based on a whitelist or blacklist.
Version: 1.0
Author: Viktor Gjorgjiev

Key Features

Country-based Blocking: Allows you to block or allow traffic from specific countries.
Admin Interface: Provides a user-friendly interface in the WordPress admin area for configuring the settings.
Configurable Modes: Choose between whitelist (allow only specific countries) or blacklist (block only specific countries).
Customizable Lists: Easily manage the list of countries in the whitelist or blacklist.
.htaccess Management: Automatically updates the .htaccess file with the necessary rules to block or allow traffic based on the configured settings.

How It Works

The Dream Country Blocker plugin integrates seamlessly with the WordPress admin area, allowing administrators to configure the plugin settings easily. Here is a brief overview of its components:

Admin Menu and Settings Initialization: The plugin adds a new options page under the WordPress settings menu where administrators can enable blocking, choose the block mode, and specify the countries in the whitelist or blacklist.
Updating .htaccess: When the settings are updated, the plugin automatically updates the .htaccess file to apply the new rules, ensuring that unauthorized traffic is effectively blocked.
