You could turn the logic in [our geo blocking plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/geo-blocking-plugin/227824) around and instead of blocking certain regions, you could block all except certain regions.

Or you can host with [communiteq](https://www.communiteq.com/) on the Professional plan or up. In that case we’ll even extend the plugin for your use case.
