24.1 Legacy Series / Re: GeoIP not working ?
« on: May 04, 2024, 04:32:39 pm »
I ran into a similar situation with my install (v24.1.6). I was receiving an "error loading alias" when trying to update the Maxmind Geo IP data. It said I had recent geo ip data from the day before and I saw the usual number of about 784K entries according to the GeoIP tab, but any time I tried to pull data from Maxmind, it failed. I even tried creating a new license key but that did not work. I found that when I tried to create a new alias it failed with the same error.
I was able to get it working again by deleting my FW rules containing any GeoIP related Aliases. Then I deleted the aliases related to GeoIP. Next, I went into the GeoIP tab and tried another pull from Maxmind, and this time it worked.
I went back and recreated my aliases and rules, and I now see blocks showing up in my live firewall logs.
Def not an elegant solution to the problem, but it worked.
