In most cases, no-one really wants to restrict access to their website. If you want your website visible to the general public, and you want people to be able to contact you via your website, you certainly can't restrict access to your contact page.

The good news is, there are services out there that can provide you with an embeddable code that will work, by simply copying the code that they provide and pasting it into the <Head> code section of the site, or page.
Well, I found a solution. One that not only worked, but it also provides a few other features that can be helpful. Like the ability to direct blocked users away from your website, to somewhere like Google.com
