ip deny /allow access

hi,

how can i allow access only to specific countries and deny it to the rest of them !

thanks

edit file /etc/csf/csf.conf

this example will only allow any ips from India and Indonesia, other blocked
CC_ALLOW = "IN,ID"

pls be aware, as most ips blocked, network perfomance will greatly affected.

Thanks Jae for your help, i will try this option to see if it helps secure the server a bit more, if i see any network issue i'll think of something different.

Be careful!!!
I once blocked several countries in my /etc/csf/csf.conf.
CC_DENY = "CN,IN,RO,RU,BR,UA,NL,UK"

And then a few days later AutoSSL (renewal of SSL certificates) wasn't working anymore.
I WAS UNABLE to create new SSL certificates!

I've found out that blocking NL (Netherlands) was the root cause for it.
Let's Encrypt is located in NL and it needs to connect to generate SSL certificates!

Furthermore the support wrote me the following »


So keep that in mind
