Countryblock

The countryblock container will block ip addresses from countries specified in .env under COUNTRIES. China, Hong Kong, and Australia (CN, HK, AU) are blocked by default because Google Cloud will charge egress to those countries under the free tier. You may add any country you like to that list, or clear it out entirely if you don't want to block those countries. Be aware, however, you'll probably be charged for any traffic to those countries, even from bots or crawlers.

This country-wide blocklist will be updated daily at midnight, but you can change the COUNTRYBLOCK_SCHEDULE variable in .env to suit your needs.

These block-lists are pulled from <www.ipdeny.com> on each update.
