When I generate the .htaccess and saw the list of IP addresses, the IP address of my visitor from the country I wish to block is not there.

If your IP address changes regularly or then you would constantly have to be editing what IP address is allowed. Anyways. You could use the Block a Country htaccess generator then at the bottom just before <code>allow from all</code> You would have to whitelise your IP address. <code># whitelist your IP address allow from your.ip.address allow from all</code> Like I said though, if your IP changes regularly you would have to be editing this constantly.

allow from all

You would have to whitelise your IP address.
# whitelist your IP address
allow from your.ip.address
allow from all

Other than that, trial and error. Block a country and wait to see if they get rejected in your server log files.
