  • IPLocation issues

    From Nighthawk@21:1/146 to All on Thursday, December 28, 2017 00:03:47
    Hello,

    I have downloaded the iplocation.bin from the website as requested, put it
    into the /mystic/data directory, changed the iplocation.txt file to block
    Japan (as a test), and I can still see connection attempts from Japan.

    Is there anywhere I can look at to ascertain that the iplocation is working properly?

    Have you enabled country block = yes, in your BinkP server config?

    Best, Paul

    In the status window or the logs you'll see "No IP2Location DB" if it can't open the database, otherwise it will start saying "Country: Unknown"
    "Country: Japan" etc

    Exactly what was missing. Now everything looking like a charm.

    Thanks!

    Perfect! Working great now, thanks!
