How can I ensure Nginx is compatible with GeoIP?

To ensure Nginx is compatible with GeoIP, you need to install the GeoIP module and configure it properly.

What are the steps to install the GeoIP module?

You can install the GeoIP module by using package managers like apt or yum, or by compiling it from source.

Can you provide a sample configuration for Nginx with GeoIP?

Sure! Here’s a basic configuration:

http {
    geoip_country /path/to/GeoIP.dat;
    server {
        location / {
            if ($geoip_country_code = 'US') {
                return 403;
            }
        }
    }
}

Is there a way to test if GeoIP is working correctly?

Yes, you can test it by accessing your server from different IP addresses or using online tools to simulate requests.
