Hello, i'm on 25.10.1_2 business Version.
Today, a road warrior user told me he can't connect anymore to VPN server.
I tried on cellular with the same issue.
I found the problem. It's GeoIP. I only give access to Belgian IP (BE). When disabled, it works again.
The geoip database was updated about 15 minutes ago. In the alias IP list (diagnostic/alias) i cannot found any of my belgian (verified) IP adsresses.
I temporary add a whitelist for my user to let him work. But he's behind a dynamic IP internet connexion. I will add his new IP when change.
Does anyone know if the provider of the business GeoIP list has an issue today ?


Same here, we use geo ip on a lot of firewall rules and notice that ip's from the netherlands are blocked since this afternoon, while the netherlands has been configured to have access through geo ip. Changing this to any (so removing geo filtering) fixed it. So there is definitely something wrong with the geo ip database. we use the latest opnsense business.

What do you get if you query the MaxMind DB for these IPs, using their website: https://www.maxmind.com/en/geoip-web-services-demo .

If you not get the expected country back, the issue would have to be reported to MaxMind.
Deciso DEC740

Maxmind or IPinfo? Anyway, this is not an opnsense issue :( It must be reported to the provider.

AFAIK, the business edition uses IPinfo per default, if not configured otherwise.
Intel N100, 4* I226-V, 2* 82559, 16 GByte, 500 GByte NVME, ZTE F6005

1100 down / 800 up, Bufferbloat A+

I've asked IPinfo to take a look. Also make sure the maximum table entries value is not too small.


Cheers,
Franco

Hi,

I work for IPinfo.

Please contact our support team at https://ipinfo.io/support. They will need the user's IP address to investigate the issue.

In your message, include the list of IP addresses, please.
