Blocking IP From All The Country With GeoIP ( VestaCP )

First, I want block my country Indonesia to access my site, my site is wordpress based, and i use a plugin iq-block-country, i don't know why that plugin isn't working and ruin my site.

I use VestaCp for my webserver just install a module geoip with this command

$ sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-geoip

And then edit apache2.conf in /home/admin/conf/web/apache2.conf

$ sudo nano /home/admin/conf/web/apache2.conf

Add the code below into our config :

GeoIPEnable On GeoIPDBFile /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat SetEnvIf GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE ID BlockCountry

Before the line IncludeOptional /home/admin/conf/web/apache2.yourwebsite.com.conf*

ID is code the coutry of Indonesia, you can change or add ID in SetEnvIf GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE ID BlockCountry with another.

Save it and then edit .htacces in your public_html directory , fill with the following code :

Deny from env=BlockCountry

And then save and restart the apache service.

$ sudo service httpd restart
