Then the code could be much more simple, to simply match the white list (or black list) vB options country code with the country code from a very simple Apache2 mod_geoip function:

Code:

$_SERVER['GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE']

Sure this would be great.. You would not happen to know how to do this on a shared server would you?
