Hello,
My friend has bought the Ubiquity Dream Hub for his router/firewall, yeah it's very nice. He's blocking traffic from China/Russia etc and I'd like to do the same with my OPNsense firewall. How are you doing this on yours?
I use Grafana a lot and I'd love to plot the geo locations on there too, has anyone done this too?
Thanks
You need to register an account with Maxmind to be able to download the free geolocation database. Then you can create firewall aliases based on country.
Sure I can do that, but what would I then need to do in the OPNsense GUI to use this?
Something like this https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/maxmind_geo_ip.html
Exactly. As I wrote - with the subscription in place and active go to Firewall > Aliases and create GeoIP aliases by the country as you see fit. Then use these in firewall rules.
