====== Edit Country Blocking ======

Mystic offers local country blocking that works with IPV4 and IPV6.

It uses a local database that exists in the DATA directory. This database is named iplocation.bin and is a free download from the Internet. 

Read and note well all the comments in iplocation.txt

  ;
  ; To block a country, change the first letter from "A" to "B" to block all
  ; connections from that country.
  ;
  ; Be very careful not to mangle the layout of this file.  Each line must
  ; have either an A or B on the line, followed by 2 letter ISO 3166-1 country
  ; code followed by the country name.  They must all be separated by two spaces
  ;
  ; IP Database must be named "iplocation.bin" in the DATA directory and is a
  ; free "IP2Location LITE IP-COUNTRY Database" in the "IPV6 BIN" format, which
  ; can be downloaded from:
  ;
  ;    lite.ip2location.com/database/ip-country
  ;
  ; Download the proper ZIP and store the ".bin" file contained in the archive
  ; in your DATA directorty as "iplocation.bin".  An example of the proper
  ; database filename to download is "IP2LOCATION-LITE-DB1.IPV6.BIN.ZIP"

To enable the country blocking feature, you must also configure it on a per-server basis in the Configure Servers menu. In the example below a TELNET server has had Country Blocking enabled.
