GeoIP Blocking

[A Former User]

@ronpfs but I don't understand why after for example 5 interregations sites no longer block them is it normal?

@antonio-briguglio GeoIP isn't always accurate. I block TOP Spammer from RU, RU_rep, CN and CN_rep, but sometimes the Alerts Tab will report another country. That is because the network is in two countries files.

Example for a block of 45.146.165.149 is reported as GB_v4 45.146.164.0/23.

grep "45\.146\.16" /usr/local/share/GeoIP/cc/*v4.txt

It shouldn't be normal. Investigate the pfblockerNG log files, firewall logs etc to debug what is happening.

The web site may have round robin or otherwise rotating DNS? For the OP, the Geo IP block is by IP address not web site name.

@teamits hi i can't find the program for geoip automatic updates.
The latest version can be downloaded from GitHub called something like geoipupdate_4.0.0_windows_amd64 depending on the version and architecture.
But unfortunately this file is not there.
Can you give me the direct link so I download it on my pc?
Help

@antonio-briguglio You can do that from the Maxmind web site :

It sounds like you're trying to run updates manually? Let pfBlocker do it.
