Decide which roles can open a Filament panel, and from where. A rule can allow a role only from chosen countries and regions, or block a role from them.

#Install

composer require spiggle/geo-lock
php artisan migrate

The package requires spatie/laravel-permission. The user model needs its HasRoles trait, so a rule can name the same roles the rest of the panel uses. Filament Shield is not required. The plugin supports Filament 4 and 5.

Register the plugin on the panel:

use Spiggle\GeoLock\Filament\GeoLockPlugin;

$panel->plugin(GeoLockPlugin::make());

Open Geo Lock Rules. Add a rule, choose the roles, then save.

#How a visit is decided

Saved rules start collapsed. The header shows whether the rule is active and what it allows or blocks. Open a rule to edit it.

Active rules that name one of the signed-in user's roles are the only rules that apply. A user with no matching rule is unchanged. Use * for every role, every country, or every region. A star matches a visit even when that part of the location is unknown.

• Allow only these locations. The visit must match at least one allow rule for that role. A country matches the whole country unless the rule lists regions. A listed region matches that region only.
• Block these locations. A matching visit is denied. A block does not apply when the country or region is unknown.
• Unknown location. An allow rule fails closed. A block rule does not fire.
• Bypass roles. super_admin can always open the panel, including when a rule names that role. Change bypass_roles in config/geo-lock.php.
• The rules page stays open. A manager who is outside an allow list can still open Geo Lock Rules and fix it.

manager_roles controls who can see and save the rules, and who can open the denial log. The default is super_admin.

#Denial log

A denied visit is stored in geo_lock_events and shown on Geo Lock Log. The row keeps the user, roles, IP, country, region, and whether the visit was blocked or outside an allow list. Allowed visits are not stored. Rows older than log_days (default 90) are removed the next time a visit is denied. Set GEO_LOCK_LOG_DAYS=0 to keep every row.

When spatie/laravel-activitylog is installed, the same denial is also written to that log under the name geo-lock. The package does not require it.

#Local and proxied locations

Loopback and private addresses have no public country. Set a local stand-in when you want this machine to count as a region:

GEO_LOCK_LOCAL_COUNTRY=JM
GEO_LOCK_LOCAL_REGION=Kingston

Public addresses are looked up at ipwho.is and cached for 12 hours. The visitor IP is sent to that service. Trust X-Geo-Country, X-Geo-Region, or Cloudflare's CF-IPCountry only when a proxy you control sets those headers and strips client-supplied copies:

GEO_LOCK_TRUST_HEADERS=true

#Features

• Rules page — roles, allow or block, countries, optional regions, and an active switch
• Role list — the Spatie roles already used by the panel
• Lock page — a denied visit shows the detected location
• Denial log — who was turned away, from where, and why
• Lockout protection — bypass roles, and the rules page itself, stay reachable
