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

that is a hot topic since 2013. wow... +1

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

I found this: https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002137965-How-to-install-GeoIP-php-extension-for-PHP-7-0-and-PHP-7-1-supplied-by-Plesk-

With all traffic from Russia, China, ... this feature should be high priority!

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

plan to block all IPs in a country, yes of course

This would make the world a better place.

this is one of the feature which is missing in plesk.

the ability to manage and filter traffic at a country level is a great idea: implement a geoip service

Be able to block specific countries in Fail2Ban.

I am using IPSET with ipdeny for fetching countries´s IP blocks and it works great.

Security via GeoIT-Functionality built in directly to plesk would bei
an awesome Feature. It would have saved me several lawsuits...

I think "Banning IP"s should be possible in a more broad way. It's already supported by iptables; so Plesk would need to implement only.

Tumbs Up

I would like it too, it is hard work to select attacks from china and then do it manually in firewall. I use GeoIp from Akeeba in my Joomla website and it works fine

GEO-IP Blocking is a good idea. With blacklisting or whitelisting. I have many traffic from china, malasiya, Japan and russia, but my target group is only Europe. And the Shops dont sell anything to this countries. A blocking is here a good idea to increase the security of the hole system.

I think a general support should be implemented for all services. In a Fail2Ban service it would be nice to set configurations for other countries. In the mailserver it would be nice to enable Greylisting for specific countries (or even for SPF, DNSBL). Oh well i need greylisting for external ip adresses... In the modsecurity to harden or select other rulesets for other countries. The list could be long... :) Generally blocking IPs from other countries with a DROP might be helpful, but blocking under certain cercumstances would be king...

I would be happy to have a quick way within the panel to block a IP or IP block, such as what I have to login via ssh and do via IP tables... Like
iptables -I INPUT 34 -s 14.0.0.0/9 -j DROP
