Hello to all

First of all, I apologize for not having found what i'm looking for and posting here

I am looking for a mod, a package or something that i can put on my forum that restricts users from registeringt if they are not from a certain country.

For instance, if a user has a Germany IP, he/she can register.
All others cannot. Simple :)

Please tell me where to look for something like this.

Thank you,
Patriche A.

Good luck with your quest, which to me would be a poor decision to implement.

Eg, when I'm in the office my employer switches my IP address every few minutes, routing through USA, Switzerland, Germany and UK.

You simply cannot rely on a public-facing IP address to determine the country of origin of the machine to which it is currently allocated.

You are right...

How about when they register and select manually a country:
1. if he/she selects Germany -> OK;
2. if he/she/bot selects anything else -> customized error message?

Thx
