Dear all forumer, I tried to setup GeoIP Blocklists but it say my source URL is not valid. I follow the documentation but could not figure it out why is wrong with the URL.

https://MyAccountID:LICENSE_KEY@download.maxmind.com/geoip/databases/GeoLite2-Country-CSV/download?suffix=zip

What is the correct URL?

https://AccountID:LicenseKey@download.maxmind.com/geoip/databases/GeoLite2-Country-CSV/download?suffix=zip

from the documentation


I can't get it to update on my BE box currently either...

if I copy and paste the download file into my browser.  it asks me again to login which is my account ID.  then license key as the password.   it then downloads the files.  but I can't get the firewall to update

This is same as my URL format as stated in the documentation. Why?

the files did download.  you do have to enable a location to block under firewall.   then when you hit apply it down redownload and update the database.

it is working as designed

I also noticed this https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/aliases.html
When using the Business Edition, you can leave the Url field empty so the firewall will download the database provided by us.

Problem solved after register a new account.
