Designed with the same polished product-minded approach behind other SH Labs tools and plugin sites.
Why it works
Bots never sleep. Neither should your security.
WordPress admin pages are hit by brute force login attempts, credential stuffing, foreign bot traffic, and random wp-admin scans. WP Border Control adds a simple checkpoint before that traffic reaches your admin area.
- Restrict wp-admin access by country with one clear job in mind
- Reduce foreign login attempts before they reach your WordPress dashboard
- Keep setup approachable for site owners, agencies, and support teams
Free vs Pro
Choose your level of protection
The free version covers the essentials. Pro opens up a broader rulebook for teams that need more flexibility.
| Feature | Free | Pro |
|---|---|---|
| USA admin protection | ✓ | ✓ |
| Custom country selection | — | ✓ |
| Trusted IP whitelist | — | ✓ |
| Agency multi-site value | — | ✓ |
| Priority support | — | ✓ |
| Advanced controls | — | ✓ |
Start with the free checkpoint, then move up to Pro when travel, agencies, or multi-location teams need more flexibility.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
A few quick answers for the questions most site owners ask first.
What does WP Border Control do?
It helps protect your WordPress admin area by allowing access only from approved countries, starting with a simple USA-focused free setup.
Is the free version really free?
Yes. The free version is meant to be a practical, lightweight protection layer with USA-only admin protection and a straightforward setup.
What do I get with Pro?
Pro is designed for broader control, including custom country rules, multiple approved countries, IP whitelisting, advanced controls, premium updates, and premium support.
Will this block normal site visitors?
No. The plugin is focused on the admin gate, so normal public site visitors are not the target of these restrictions.
What if I travel outside the U.S.?
That is exactly the kind of scenario where Pro features like custom country rules, multiple approved countries, or trusted IP access become especially helpful.
Is it easy to set up?
Yes. The goal is clear rules with minimal friction, so most site owners can understand what is happening without digging through a giant security dashboard.
