Hi MaxMind is blocked in my area, But IP2Location is available. Can IP2Location-pfSense act as GeoIP blocker ?

Regards

Hi there,

Thanks for your interest. The current version is more geared towards the monitoring and investigation of the origin of positive IP addresses filtered by pfSense and as such, has been implemented as dashboard widget to provide visual identification and exploration. The widget does however allow you to create new firewall rules with one-click after an IP address has been added to the watch list.

I am working on second version to run as a background service on the pfSense host itself, which will include the lite version of the IP2Location database. This will allow on-the-fly detection and filtering. Watch this space.

Kind regards,

Jean-Paul.

Hi I eagerly await the second version.
