BotBanish is capable of blocking whole countries from accessing your site. In the SMF main menu go to BotBanish->Blacklists->Countries, place a check mark on the row of the country to block and click on "Update Blacklist Country" and a 1 will appear in the activate column. To unblock place a check mark on the row that has a 1 in the active column then click "Update Blacklist Country" and the block will be reversed and a 0 will appear in the active column.

Once this is done BotBanish will check the country codes and if it finds an IP address from any country that has been selected active, BotBanish will eject this user from the system.

NOTE: This feature is only available starting in version 4.1.00
