WPF2B_EVENT_BLOCK_COUNTRY

Attempted access from a blocked country.

Premium only

Premium listener: WPF2B_EVENT_BLOCK_COUNTRY.

Premium emits this event when a request’s resolved country appears in WP_FAIL2BAN_EX_BLOCK_COUNTRIES. The request is denied with HTTP 403.

Countries assigned to the HTTP 451 list use WPF2B_EVENT_BLOCK_COUNTRY_451. A fail-closed denial when the country cannot be resolved uses WPF2B_EVENT_BLOCK_COUNTRY_UNKNOWN.
