How to block users from registering if not from UK or USA?

Not to sound harsh or anything but Im not bothered about people from outside the UK/ USA… English speaking countries signing up to my website as most of the time they are just bots.

Is there any functions.php I could add to block signups from IP ranges outside uk and USA.. or any other English speaking country?

I would hope this would drastically reduce spam sign-ups for me.. as even with akismet, and google ReCaptcha bots still make it through.
Thank you.

You can use a country blocker such as IP Geo Block

Thanks for the quick answer much appreciated! Looks good will try it out. My site will still be visible to the world.. just people outside blocked countries not allowed to sign up? 🙂
