How can i block EVERYTHING from other countries than my own so people from other countries can't open the website?

Thanks.

Hello there UartigZone.

You can use the http://ipinfo.io API for this. The PHP code would look something like this:
$allowed_countries = array("US", "GB", ...);
$country = file_get_contents("http://ipinfo.io/{$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']}/country");
if(!in_array($country, $allowed_countries)) {
// Display an error message, or redirect to another website
}See http://ipinfo.io/developers for more details.

Thanks,

Or you can use a htaccess way, which would be more sustainable: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7...-united-states

Thank you.
When i try to connect with US, the page is only white?

The script should send you to one page on my website and ONLY that page is possible to see when you are in the blocked countries? =)

Thanks for helping me!

Just add a header('Location: page.php'); to where it says: // Display an error message, or redirect to another website
That should work...

Have tryed... Thanks....

My code is:

<?php
$allowed_countries = array("US", "GB", ...);
$country = file_get_contents("http://ipinfo.io/{$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']}/country");
if(!in_array($country, $allowed_countries)) {
('Location: 500.php');
?>

Or you can block countries with PHP and MySql. See this if the previous didn't work: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=327502

My code is:

<?php
$allowed_countries = array("US", "GB");
$country = file_get_contents("http://ipinfo.io/{$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']}/country");
if(!in_array($country, $allowed_countries)) {
header('Location: 500.php');
exit();
}
?>

, ... was shown that you can add more countries.
It is header('Location: page.php');
exit();

<?php
$allowed_countries = array("US", "GB");
$country = file_get_contents("http://ipinfo.io/{$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']}/country");
if(!in_array($country, $allowed_countries)) {
header('Location: 500.php');
exit();
}
?>

exit();

Thanks! Now it works but when i add Denmark ( DK ), Norway ( NO ) and Sweden ( SWE / SE ) it send me to the /blocked.php page? And its when i use a IP from GB, NO, DK and SWE ?

Is it a bug or?

<?php$allowed_countries = array("DK", "GB", "NO","SE");
$country = file_get_contents("http://ipinfo.io/{$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']}/country");
if(!in_array($country, $allowed_countries)) {
header('Location: /blocked.php');
exit();
}
?>

Thanks for helping!

If you go to ipinfo.io what shows up for "country": ?

[UartigZone]

If you go to ipinfo.io what shows up for "country": ?

When on VPN =

Country: DE

And when on the normally computer the country is DK

What do you think the bug or error is?
