    How do you people go about blocking a certain country, or countries from visiting your website?

    I’ll probably block all countries outside Canada, since the website is more for people in a specific region.

    That’s 1000’s of IP ranges of each country different ISP’s. You think it’s worth it? Reserve the blocking for those ranges you getting spam from or some other malicious activity.

    I really don’t think you should bother with this unless you were having problems being hacked from a certain range of ip’s. If you’re using WordPress, you could look at plugins e.g. better wordpress security and wordfence.
