Block the IP of the selected country in Firewall
Firewall should be able to block the IP of the selected country. I have a lot of traffic from the IP 5.10. *. *

This functionality was added in Plesk 18.0.52 ( https://docs.plesk.com/release-notes/obsidian/change-log/#plesk-18052 ). We suggest you to update to Plesk 18.0.52 and check it out.
The feature is based on ipsets and works out of the box.
By default, the feature uses the free version of the DB-IP geolocation database, but also supports MaxMind DB's.

The Plesk firewall already can blocks of networks, by adding a CDIR netmask.
In your example, use 5.10.0.0/16 to block all traffic from the 2.10 network.
However, this does not block data from a specific country, but from a specific (group of) network(s). Keep in mind that countries may have a lot of A/B/C type of networks that are not consecutively ordered.I don't know any complete list of networks used in a specific country, but you can do a search at organisations like ripe.net, apnic.net, afriinc.net and arin.net to do research for networks.

This and clamav should significantly improve server safety

Hey Adam, try to set you SPF with -all (minus sign). And make you sure to have only sender server IP or service included on your spf.

PLEASE get country IP blocking or bulk IP blocking abilities. At times I am getting up to 45,000 spoofed emails (spoofed from my own account) a day. SPF records and DKIM settings just don't work!

I have a lot of spam from .ru and never need to get .ru emails so I would love to be able to block them. Our business is Australian based.

Wow! 5 years and nobody at Plesk thought to implement this feature. From a paid panel I expected more...

I feel like it would be nice to configure per site? For example, if I have a web site where I don't feel like listing every cookie and possible impact of linking to CDNs for various assets to comply with GDPR (They're logging my IP address! Get or set up a ch€ap VPN if that bothers you), it would be convenient to block affected countries. I certainly wouldn't want to do this for every site, but it would be nice to be able to push a button (so to speak) for sites where I don't care about European traffic. I'm not suggesting a "block GDPR traffic" button in the admin (that would be silly), but perhaps a way to more easily group rubbish traffic by type?

I second this. What's the point of allowing traffic from China when it's 100% bad traffic accounting for 70% of attacks

Continuous brute force attack comes from Russia and China.
Solution to prevent country ip blocks. -

I can't believe that this has been an open request since 2013 and it is still not implemented!
