If you are using netlify to host your website then there is pretty good way to restrict access with certain conditions using redirect and rewrites read more

add _redirects file without any extension in dir that will serve your website

# _redirects
# serve blocked.html with beautiful url
/blocked  /blocked.html  200

# Redirect users from US to blocked page
/*  /blocked  301  Country=us

netlify will use the first matching route to redirect so make sure you prioritize the routes.
