    @ basketmen,

    This can be done by CSF but most of the IP in Geoipdatabase and those IP you can't block. If you want to enable particular IP that also can be done by CSF. Whta purpose you are going to do, so that i ll suggest best way.

    I blocked China in CSF Country Codes, then discovered that our purchasing team could no longer email a supplier out in China.
    Until I have time to look at this more in depth, i removed the CC block.

    Hello :)

    Yes, as mentioned, it's a good idea to use a firewall management tool such as CSF to handle these types of blocks:

    CSF Firewall

    Thank you.
