How do I use country blocking and where do I get GeoIP.dat ?

This product includes GeoLite2 data created by MaxMind, available from http://www.maxmind.com.

To be able to use this, you will first need to load a specialized IP - country database. RSFirewall! will provide an upload GeoIP database button and you can take these steps to download your IP database:

• Create an account for maxmind.com by signing up.
• An email will be sent to your registered email address.
• Follow the email instructions to firstly setup a password for your account (the email may take a while to send).
• After this is done, you will also need to generate a license key into the MaxMind account > Manage License Keys > Generate new license key (when asked "Will this key be used for GeoIP Update?" you can simply select "No"). Then you may need to wait a few minutes until your key is usable and afterwards add it within RSFirewall!'s Configuration > Country Blocking tab > MaxMind License Key field. After saving this configuration, you will be able to download the GeoLite2-Country database from their website by clicking on the blue button.
• In case the auto download fails, you can login and download the GeoLite2-Country database from their website ("Download Files" section).
• You'll need to click the GZIP link (check the above right screenshot - click to enlarge it) matching the GeoLite2-Country row, then upload it into the RSFirewall!'s Configuration > Country Blocking tab.
