How to Secure Magento Websites for Geolocation

Magento Geolocation security based on Magento IP location is desirable in most cases. Few months ago an online merchant purchased Magento GeoIP extension for the reason that he is based in Hong Kong. He did not want any one from Hong Kong to visit his site except few persons. The reason is that he did not want his competitors to find out what he was selling. In simple words, he is looking to block access to a specific location based on IP address with few exceptions.
