[TAC] Stop Country Spam - Product specifications

Stop Country Spam blocks countries you specify from accessing your forum. Spammers come disproportionately from certain countries. If your forum is local, blocking the countries where you are frequently receiving spammers from can help keep spam away.

This add-on uses the following method of detecting visitor countries:

• DNS look up.

Note: This add-on uses a free third party geolocation database service, to avoid you having to store a massive IP geolocation database on your server. No guarantee is provided that all the many currently free third party geolocation database services won't one day cease service. The geolocation database JSON request URL is set with a default, but is definable by you via the Admin Control Panel if you want to change to another service.
