How to block countries with nginx?

v3
#1

I’m having issues with a certain country sending hordes of useless hits which eats up my resources.

i’m hoping there is an easy way through easyengine because i did a quick search and it seems i would have to recompile nginx with the geoip module??

thanks in advance!

--with-http_geoip_module is already there in nginx-custom package which comes with EasyEngine.

You can check it with nginx -V command

what are the chances nginx custom package will mess things up?

it’s essentially the same with extra modules compiled in right?

EDIT: until i get verification i decided to use Cloudflare as they have a country filter.
