📦 Plugin Name

better-auth-geoip

✨ Description

I’m working on a new community plugin for better-auth that introduces Geo/IP-Based Authentication Rules. This plugin aims to provide an extra layer of security by enabling developers to allow or block login attempts based on IP geolocation, risk scoring, and anonymity signals (VPN, TOR, proxy).

🔐 Features

  • Support for IP geolocation providers:

    • ipapi.co
    • ipinfo.io
    • IPQualityScore

  • Block or allow based on:

    • Country codes
    • VPN/proxy/TOR detection
    • ASN (future support)
    • IP reputation/risk score

  • Configurable via plugin options

  • Designed for plug-and-play usage

🔧 Example Usage

import { betterAuth } from "better-auth";
import { geoIpPlugin } from "better-auth-geoip";

export const auth = betterAuth({
  advanced: {
    ipAddress: {
      ipAddressHeaders: ["x-client-ip", "x-forwarded-for"],
      disableIpTracking: false,
    },
  },
  plugins: [
    geoIpPlugin({
      provider: "ipqualityscore",
      apiKey: process.env.IPQS_API_KEY!,
      config: {
        blockCountries: ["CN", "RU"],
        maxRiskScore: 70,
        blockIfVPN: true,
        blockIfTor: true,
      },
    }),
  ],
});

🙋‍♂️ Request

I’d love to contribute this as an official community plugin and would appreciate feedback on:

  • This does not conflict with the upcoming Better Auth Infrastructure features, so I can proceed with working on it directly.
  • Whether to open a PR or keep it as an external module
  • Adding it to the docs/community plugin registry

This is a really great idea!
One suggestion is to also support .mmddb files.
