[Question] IP Block By Region

I know cloudlfare and other cloud providers often provide geoblocking features if you host with them.

Does anybody know of any similar foss packages for us self-hosters?

I know I don’t have any need for somebody outside of my country to access my server, so geoblocking IPs would be a great security feature.

It depends on what specific thing you want to add geoblocking to, but often something like the MaxMind GeoIP database, which then can feed into a firewall to pre-emptively geo-block at a connection level, or as part of e.g. nginx geolocating the IP a of the connecting IP then making the blocking decision at request time.

There's a forward-auth that uses Traefik's forward-auth to do this, which is probably how I would go about it if I wanted it at an HTTP level.

Yep SWAG reverse proxy (which uses ngjnx) can use Maxmind for geoblocking pretty easily
