Country Block Question...

[rivermobster]

So I see in CSF, you can block a country by doing this...

https://support.cpanel.net/hc/en-us/articles/4406468593687-How-to-block-countries-in-CSF-firewall

I'm gonna guess you just click "Change" at the bottom after adding a new country code?

Second question....

At the top of that screen there is a section about MaxMind. Currently, MM_LICENSE_KEY = is blank and CC_SRC = 1

Do I need to make changes here as well?

Thanks in advance!

Hey there! While we don't provide support for CSF, CC_SRC is set to 2 by default because of the following details:

# Set the following to your preferred source:
#
# "1" - MaxMind
# "2" - db-ip, ipdeny, iptoasn
#
# The default is "2" on new installations of csf, or set to "1" to use the
# MaxMind databases after obtaining a license key
CC_SRC = "2"

So if you aren't using MaxMind, you should have that set to 2 in order to use the country code fields.

Is there an easy way to verify max mind is currently in use?

The module is end of life, and you'd also need to manually configure it with these steps, so if you haven't done that it's likely not being used:
