Nginx How to block country on Nginx using Cloudflare http_cf_ipcountry?

should work as long as your server can detect the HTTP_CF_IPCOUNTRY header passed from Cloudflare

though you can just use Cloudflarw Zone Lock down to do the same thing too

 

article you linked to has perl method or use php PHP: Get visitor country via Cloudflare CF-IPCountry header.

or Get country IP address in php - YourHowTo.net

 

yup so it exists

 

Keep at it.. should work as I use Nginx geo IP redirection/detection extensively for CentminMod.com LEMP Fully Optimized Nginx web stack for CentOS main site has banner adds and affiliate banner links are all served based on country code detection at Centmin Mod Nginx server level.

 

ah yes using geoip

Code (Text):

    map $geoip_country_code $adcountry {
        default "";
        AP ap;   # asian pacific region
        AU au;   # australia
        BR br;   # brazil
        CA ca;   # canada
        CN cn;   # china
        DE de;   # germany
        EU eu;   # europe
        FR fr;   # france
        GB gb;   # great britain
        HK hk;   # hong kong       
        ID id;   # indonesia
        IN in;   # india
        IT it;   # italy
        JP jp;   # japan
        NL nl;   # netherlands
        NO no;   # norway
        PH ph;   # philippines
        PT pt;   # portugal
        RU ru;   # russia
        SG sg;   # singapore
        TH th;   # thailand
        US us;   # usa
        VN vn;   # vietnam
    }

 

Yeah Cloudflare Firewall Rules will do the same Though if someone bypasses Cloudflare to hit origin directly, you won't have any protection like you would doing it at Nginx level.

 

Yup that would help Cloudflare - Setting Up Cloudflare Authenticated Origin Pulls Protecting Your Origins
