About Geo2Lite
Since version 4.5.8 Roxy-WI allows to download and update GeoLite2 via the web panel.
GeoIP is the MaxMind’s IP intelligence product. It provides IP geolocation and proxy detection for a wide range of applications including content customization, advertising, digital rights management, compliance, fraud detection and security.
Databases
GeoLite2 databases are free IP geolocation databases comparable to, but less accurate than, MaxMind’s GeoIP2 databases. The GeoLite2 Country, City, and ASN databases are updated weekly, every Tuesday.IP Geolocation Usage
IP geolocation is inherently imprecise. Locations are often near centers of the population. Any location provided by a GeoIP database should not be used to identify a particular address or household.Use the Accuracy Radius as an indication of geolocation accuracy for the latitude and longitude coordinates Maxmind returns for an IP address. The actual location of the IP address is likely within the area defined by this radius and the latitude and longitude coordinates.

Updating GeoLite2 with Roxy-WI
Updating
MaxMind updates GeoLite2 databases every Tuesday, so it should be updated every week. Roxy-WI can do it! Just check "Updating" checkbox.Using GeoLite2 with HAProxy
How files with IPs for each continent can be used for creating ACLs:
acl acl_AF src -f /etc/haproxy/geoip/AF.txt acl acl_AN src -f /etc/haproxy/geoip/AN.txt acl acl_AS src -f /etc/haproxy/geoip/AS.txt acl acl_EU src -f /etc/haproxy/geoip/EU.txt acl acl_NA src -f /etc/haproxy/geoip/NA.txt acl acl_OC src -f /etc/haproxy/geoip/OC.txt acl acl_SA src -f /etc/haproxy/geoip/SA.txt
You may reject all connections from a certain continent (for Africa, for instance):
http-request deny if !acl_AF
or address them to different backend servers:
use_backend bk_af if acl_AN
Using GeoLite2 with NGINX
Since Roxy-WI version 6.2.1 you can install GeoLite2 for the NGINX service on your servers. Go to the Servers-GeoLite2 section, choose NGINX as a service and click the Install button.
