I love the new Countries Management feature in v. 70 CPHulk! Is there any performance penalty based on the number of countries blacklisted? It seems like ideally one would block all the countries except the one(s) where clients live.

  Quite a bit of work has gone into make sure it performs well. One of the big impediments to adding is sooner was resolving the performance concerns. In the released version, the matching is very fast and has a high-performance cache layer so it shouldn't cause any significant slowdowns.

  Thanks for the info. I have every country blocked but the one my clients are from, and so far, I haven't noticed any issues with degraded performance. There has been a huge reduction in blocked logins. I went from getting hundreds a day to none since I enabled the country blocks.

  I have a question related to this but not the same In my use case all users on the back end are in one country but web site users (people who see website or email clients on this server) could be from anywhere in the world So if i black list all but for example usa and undefined would Japan be able see my websites and email me or would they be blocked too?

  Hello @A Citizen, The previous post is correct. The settings you configure for the cPHulk Brute Force Protection feature won't affect the ability for visitors to access websites hosted on your server or the ability for them to send emails to your server. Thank you.
