When you set up your VitalPBX installation publicly available through the internet, we have seen various ways to deter bot scanners from trying to attack your VitalPBX. Additionally to this, we can apply the Geo-Firewall commercial add-on. This is a simple add-on you can install that blocks incoming connection attempts from entire countries. As this is a commercial add-on, you need to purchase individual licensing or any of our licensing plans. Once the addon is installed, refresh your browser and go to Admin > Firewall > Geo-Firewall.
By default, all countries are unblocked. You can block a country by clicking it on the map, or by going to the list of countries in the upper right-hand corner. When you click the country name, it will turn from green to red on the map.
You can also Select or Unselect all countries from the buttons in the lower left-hand corner.
The Geo-Firewall can be enabled or disabled as a whole from here as well.
Once you have the countries you want blocked, click Save and then Apply Changes. With this, you have now set up the Geo-Firewall.
