Does the GeoIP module still work with the latest Nginx release? ## Also, does anyone have a copy of the module? The link on the wiki doesn’t work. _Phillip B Oldham_ The Activity People removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid [mailto:removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) * * * _Policies_ This e-mail and its attachments are intended for the above named recipient(s) only and may be confidential.

I ran a test on the debug server, and I added an entry to the geo list to have the IP I was testing from. It got through our security without any problem. I know for a fact that it is not working properly though, perhaps load or memory is somehow causing problems with it on our other servers? The only difference between our test server and our production servers is the test server uses the --debug compile flag, while the production servers do not, but they do have the syslog patch applied, which should not effect the geo lists as far as I understand. The configs, distros, everything else is the same. We generate the configs on a single system and then push them out to all of our servers, including the debug server at the same time. The reason I know that it is not working properly, is that one of our customers websites running through our security had the google webcache system pick up our security page rather then their web page. Our security page lists the visitors IP address, which was the google crawler IP. I took that IP and checked our geo list of search engines that should be allowed through, and it was in the list. We’ve gone over the configs to see if we perhaps missed the if statement mentioned earlier which does the proxy\_pass, but everything is in place, as it has been working for quiet a while. We have had an increase in traffic lately through our servers though, so I am curious if possible load plays some factor in the geo lists being processed or something.

I have done a bunch of more testing, and so far, the geo module appears to be working, and this may be due to a configuration problem somewhere else.
