• Geo-IP Filter ⎯ The Geo-IP Filter page has a Diagnostics section containing a Show Resolved Locations
button and a table displaying cache statistics.
The Geo-IP Filter page includes several options, including Block Connections to/from Following Countries,
Block all connections to public IPs if GeoIP DB is not downloaded, Block ALL UNKNOWN countries, and
a checkbox for Enable Logging.
The Block Connections to/from Following Countries checkbox provides options to block All Connections
or block Firewall Rule-Based Connections.
Select the Block all connections to public IPs if GeoIP DB is not downloaded option if you want all
countries to be blocked whenever the firewall cannot download the Geo-IP database that contains the list of
countries to be blocked. For selected countries to be blocked, the Geo-IP database must be downloaded from
the internet. The firewall must be able to resolve the address "gbdata.global.sonicwall.com" to download the
country database. If the Geo-IP database is not downloaded successfully, the firewall cannot block selected
countries.
Some countries may not be listed in the Geo-IP database. Select the Block ALL UNKNOWN countries option
if you want all countries not listed in the Geo-IP database to be blocked.
