Take a look at cfBlockCountries-PRO available for Joomla 2.5 at 33% discount with many more features packed in cfBlockCountries:

The cfBlockCountry is a Joomla plugin that can be used to block IP address from certain countries. For example if you want to block access of the site from any IP in United States you can use this plugin.

Some important points:

It only blocks access to website and not the admin interface so that if you accidently block your own country you can reset the country list

This plugin uses free DB from MaxMind (http://www.maxmind.com/app/geolitecountry). As per the MaxMind this DB is 99.5% accurate.

There are 2 options in the plugin, if you want to use geoip database from local server, you can select the Local option after installing the plugin. But before you select local option please upload geoip folder in the plugin zip file to /libraries/ folder of joomla installation.

If this operation is not performed and local option is selected this will cause error on Joomla and you may not be able to access joomla site unless plugin is disabled from DB.

Configuration
