Blocking a Country from Accessing my Site

[Soldier58]

Ever since I switched from Weebly to Square whenever I look at my real time Google analytics there is at least one visit (sometimes two) from Hong Kong. It's pretty much been 24 hours a day for 3 months, as if it's a crawler of some kind.  Is there a way to block Hong Kong from accessing my site?

Hi there, @Soldier58 - thanks for reaching out to us here again on the Seller Community. 

Currently there is no process for blocking specific region or country from accessing your site. In order to pass along feedback on this, is there a specific reason you'd like to block people from a specific country from viewing your site? 

I will keep an eye out for your response.

Hi Joe,

Something located in Hong Kong or Indonesia is constantly crawling my website. It's been going on since March when we switched from Weebly to Square. They are on up to three pages at a time and it's screwing up my analytics. I don't know what's going on or why this started when I launched my Square website but it's incredibly frustrating.
