How do I configure the firewall to block countries outside of the US was created by David Schroeder
How do I configure this thing so that I block China and Singapore and other nations that are known for hacking but keep us IP addresses from not being blocked? When I turn it on I get a lot of false positives. Meaning I have people here in the US that I need to register on our website and they are being blocked for no other reason then being blocked.

Hi David,
so basically GeoIP blocking works with a toggle: Block or Allow
so the countries you select in the 'Countries' list are then either Blocked (all countries allowed except the ones selected), or Allowed (all countries blocked except the selected)
So in your ochSimpleFirewall Component tab 'GeoIP NetSets' options you should set either:

- Countries: geoip_CN_China, geoip_SG_Singapore, etc.
- Block or Allow: Allow
- Countries: geoip_US_United_states, etc.
