Hi,
So I need to ask a question. I been looking online for how to block countries using GeoIP with my Nginx installed, I keep seeing geoip-database.
If I install the geoipupdate, will that install the database I need? Or do I need to download the geolite tar ball from Maxmind?

There is the https://db-ip.com/db/lite.php which doesn't need a licence AFAIK and this version comes with the xtables-geoip. So maybe there should be some kind of package available for other usages rather than solely for firewall needs
