I have a site where the contact form is getting spammed. I have enabled CAPTCHA but it’s not helping. Is there a geoblocking app or a way to prevent certain countries from accessing the site? Thanks.

Hi Jessica, Wix currently does not offer a geo blocking app, but I do believe there are external apps you can use with Wix sites. You may have to do some research.

Is it a Wix Corvid form?

Hi @jlevin7 ,
It is possible to add geo blocking using corvid to your site. You can choose which all countries to block from a dashboard page and then the code can do the magic.:wink:

I meant we can use wix Corvid code to block the countries that you don’t want visitors from. I can make a dashboard page in your site editor or a admin page in one of your page and there you can select all counties that you want to block from a dropdown.and whenever someone from that country visites your website, I can detect it and then show a box or page saying “We don’t have service in your region” or something and prevent users visiting your site.

Hey so I managed to learn how to block certain countries from visiting/accessing my Wix website.

I’m not a coder myself but found it fairly easy to apply using this code.

The code I used for my website is given below,

import wixLocation from 'wix-location';
import {fetch} from 'wix-fetch';$w.onReady(function () {     // Fetch the user's location details
     fetch('https://extreme-ip-lookup.com/json', {
        method: 'get'
     })     // Check if the request was successful
     .then((httpResponse) => {
if (httpResponse.ok) {
return httpResponse.json();
        }
     })     
     .then((json) => {
        // Set the user's countryCode as a const
const loc = json.countryCode;        /* Check if location is India, and check if visitor is not already on
           not available page */        if(loc === "IN" && wixLocation.path !== "not-available"){
           // Redirect to "Not Available" page
           wixLocation.to("/not-available");
        }
     });})

The visitor is technically redirected to a page you would have to create that displays a message like “This content is not available for your country”.

Hope I helped! Best of luck.
