How to add/remove a country from the firewall Black List?

Environment

• Any distro
• Any control panel
• Imunify360

Solution

1. A country can be added to the Imunify360 whitelist using two options (CLI & UI):

• You can whitelist a country using the command-line interface and the command below:

imunify360-agent blacklist country add COUNTRY_CODE

Make sure to replace COUNTRY_CODE with the actual ISO ALPHA-2 CODE for the country of your choice (you can find the list here). 

•  You can use the Imunify360 UI > Firewall tab for blacklisting a country:

2. A country can be removed from the firewall blacklist through the Firewall UI using the "Trash" icon or via the CLI with the following command:

imunify360-agent blacklist country delete COUNTRY_CODE

• If you want to remove all blacklisted countries, you will need to write a script for this. For example, you can use the list.txt with the list of blacklisted countries and then execute:

cat list.txt | xargs -n 1 imunify360-agent blacklist country delete
