Frequently Asked Question

We've added the ability to blocking countries by their IP addresses. This is using the MaxMind GeoIP free database. 

To block countries by IP address, add something like this to your .htaccess file (or open a low priority ticket to have us do it for you):


# BEGIN This example blocks both China and Brazil
 
    
     Require all granted
     Require not env BlockCountry
    
    SetEnvIf MM_COUNTRY_CODE ^(CN|BR) BlockCountry
  
# END

  # BEGIN This example allows only the US and Canada

  SetEnvIf MM_COUNTRY_CODE ^(US|CA) AllowCountry
  Require env MM_COUNTRY_CODE
  Deny from All
  Allow from env=AllowCountry
  # END
