## Description

GeoShield Access Manager allows you to easily block visitors from specific countries.

You can add or remove multiple countries from the WordPress backend. If a visitor
belongs to a blocked country, the plugin displays a dynamic block page saying:

**“Your country (XX) is blocked from viewing this website.”**

This plugin works with a lightweight IP lookup API and includes:

 * Admin settings menu: **Blocked Countries**
 * Add unlimited country codes (ISO format)
 * Remove countries dynamically
 * Frontend blocking of selected countries
 * Custom block message page (auto-generated)
 * No theme files required
 * No coding skills needed

Perfect for website owners who want to control traffic based on location.

### Features

 * Block users by country
 * Easy backend interface for adding/removing countries
 * Uses free IP geolocation service (ip-api.com)
 * Automatically generates a block page with a friendly message
 * Does not affect admin dashboard access
 * Simple, clean, and lightweight (Hello Dolly style)

in order to apply country-based access restrictions.
