    Peerblock is old, any other country block list to use?
    Maybe for Ublock Origin?
    Want to block a specific country.

    Hello,
    I don't know if a Ublock Origin filter to block specific countries does exist but I've just discovered Geo Firewall. The Basic (free) edition has to be activated with a free serial key. I don't need it but maybe it could be useful for you https://www.verigio.com/products/geo-firewall/default

    PeerBlock is open-source. I've used it as inspiration to effectively handle large IP ranges in Fort Firewall.

    There are Zones in Fort Firewall to define IP ranges.

    I think, you can:
    - build a file with needed IP addresses from some source (e.g. geolite2-country) for only required countries
    - use that local file as Zone's source in Fort Firewall
    - block that Zone in the Options: IP Addresses: Internet: Block Addresses: "Zones"

    Does that mean you would like to block country-specific TLDs? If so, why not just use rules for that, e.g. ||cn^$all

    Exactly, that's the easiest way to go. Perhaps alter that to

    Code:
    ||cn^$all,important
    to make sure that all exception filters are ignored.

    Thank you! BlackFog is a little expensive, I think Appguard will do the job along with OSArmor.
    Thank you everybody!
