GeoIP On Nginx

Server NGINX
1

Hi guys,

Iam trying to set up geoip functionality on nginx, I believe it works
only with Nginx 0.8 not earlier.

I was using GeoIP with Apache to allow access to Only US IPs with the
following config…

SetEnvIf GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE US AllowCountry

Deny from all
Allow from env=AllowCountry

How can i achieve the same on Nginx.

Thank You

thank you, Igor

is there a way that i can actually drop the connection for the other
Ips, 403 means somebody has a connection to Nginx, i just do not want
that, just want it dropped.

geoip module is in 0.7 since 0.7.63.
Also, there is another geo module in all modern versions.

How can i achieve the same on Nginx.
server {

if ($geoip_country_code != US) {
return 403;
}

return 444;

403 is the same as Deny in Apache.
