Why should I use GeoBlocking?
Shouldn't all countries be blocked, nobody should be able to login to my websites!!!
Thanks!

The GeoIP block is fairly trivial for a human to bypass. They just use a compromised IP from an allowed country, or use a different proxy server. It may block an unattended script from attacking your site. If you are up to date on your extensions, those bots are not too scary.
The GeoIP plugin will block both the front end and back end access to your site.
