block visitors by country

I used this guide to block visitors from certain countries:
http://www.howtoforge.com/nginx-how-to-block-visitors-by-country-with-the-geoip-module-debian-ubuntu

It worked perfect for domain1.com on my vps.

I just created domain2.com. I see visitors from the blocked countries (in google analytics). Does not make sence since the block was done on ngionx.conf and not on the domain.

I have to examine awstats too later on.

Comments?

 

Did you add

Code:

        if ($allowed_country = no) {
            return 444;
        }

to domain2.com?

 

No, I did not. This must be it. I forgot about this setting that is particular to every domain.

 

I just checked and the following code was missing from the domain1 vhost file too:

Code:

        if ($allowed_country = no) {
            return 444;
        }

This is very strange. Maybe ispconfig changed the vhost file settings and overwrote my changes.

 

I just checked. The obove code was AGAIN missing from domain1 and domain2 vhost files.

I was editing the vhost files and I think ispconfig is overwriting my changes.

So I decided to enter the above code through ispconfig3, under Sites -> Web Domain -> Options. I did this for both domains. Indeed the code went to the two vhost files. I hope I will not loose the setting again.

I had suspected that. Somebody should have confirmed this back then:
