      @antonio-briguglio said in GeoIP Blocking:

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

      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.

        Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
        When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

          @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

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

                  and on the IP page:
