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.

who the f... whats china on servers? 99% of queries from this country trigle security apps. country block dont need to be 100% effective but is effencial to keep possibility of locking none-targeted users by default. MAKE THIS FEATURE AVALIBLE FOR PLESK! so we dont have to share our analytics with cloudflare-like companies!

IP has no country by design. Takes some effort to maintain a GeoIP database and even so it probably won't be precise.

Me too. Countries like China, Russia, etc. attack my servers constantly.

well it should be possible to block certain countries from accessing certain ports - for example mail ports ... to prevent password cracking attempts.

This is a very important feature as people try and ***** SMTP passwords and even if paying for Imunify360 that doesnt help because each attempt comes from a new password. If you know which geographical location most of your users are from then we should be able to block IMAP/SMTP access from all countries and only allow certain countries. This works well in Juggernaut but seeing that I pay so much more from Imunify360 I would expect this to be standard in Imunify360

Maintaining lists of IPs or even subnets by hand on multiple servers is neither practical nor secure enough. There are already projects that maintain such lists (honeypot, ip2location etc).

I have enabled fail2ban and greylisting but I still frequently see servers in the mail.log which try to login with dictionary passwords.
The only way I know to get rid of those is to deny them completely.
It is a pain to do this from the GUI and there should be a CLI for this.
