What is Roqos Country Block?

Sometimes, you can just tell that a connection from a specific country is likely to be malicious. For example, if you’re minding your own business and browsing your usual favorite sites and suddenly see an unknown incoming connection from Russia or China, it’s probably bad news.

Now, you can block incoming IP requests from any country you want, blocking out potential bad actors with Country Block on Roqos! Instead of manually examining every single incoming connection, you’ll be able to easily filter out any user or website hosted in the country you’re looking to block. Keep hackers from suspicious countries out of your network today!

How Do I Enable Roqos Country Block?

Using Country Block on Roqos is easy. Just log into the Roqos Core User Interface, and navigate to the Country Block section under Cybersecurity. You can block entire regions or specific countries. On top of that, you can also decide if you want to just detect incoming connections from specific countries, or block them altogether. Check out our full guide to using Country Block!
