XF 1.5 How do I block registration for a specific country (India)?

[Betclever]

Hello all,

I have big issues with Indian people who are coming and spamming on my website and I have to delete/ban accounts several times per day and it becomes annoying.

How do I block IP address and registrations for this country?

Thanks.

You would need to block any and all IP addresses/ranges in use, or use iptables on the server.

You can search the web for sites which may list all addresses/ranges.

Alternately there is a plug-in that does exactly this. https://xenforo.com/community/resources/semprot-deny-country.2866/

Cloudflare can also do this on paper.
