What? A Geography based firewall blocks access to\/from entire countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why? Useful on a RDP server to reduce risk by ignoring entire chunks of the internet. (RDP has been targeted recently with wormable exploits)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Verigio <\/a>makes a cool little software firewall, that is super simple and free. (free for 5 areas or less, still waiting to see if an area is a continent or a country)<\/p>\n\n\n\n I live in NorthAmerica so i block: Africa, Asia, Australia, Middle East, South America, Other AND under Europe i check Russian Federation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Log shows a lot of hits on Singapore; ZeroTier VPN is based in Singapore. Had to figure this out by guessing, as clicking a blocked entry does not show detailed records or the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Installation does require a reboot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n a second option would be PeerBlock <\/a>open source software and the netroar <\/a>country blocks. This will take more time to setup as the countries are not grouped into continents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What?
