SSL with using Cloudflare has issues - other ways to block countries

I know this has been asked before as I was using Cloudflare but with the autoSSL expring and cloudflare masking the IP, I had to chaneg DNS back and install SSL and then put it back to cloudflare and then I am good again for 90 days. This is just not practical and is prone to issues.

The main reason I am using Cloudflare is it really does a great job at blocking countries. CPHulk is suppose to but it does not work.

Any suggestion on what to do as with using Cloudflare free SSL, it has certificate issues with email and emails dont work properly so I really cannot use that SSL system.

I just really need rate limit and country blocking and I cannot afford to pay WordFence premium and cloudflare was great but SSL makes it not usable for me anymore.

Hey hey! While no country blocking system is going to be perfect, have you tried using the tool available inside CSF?

what about blocking it with modsecurity?

That's a good option too, although the firewall block happens at a higher level, so it doesn't need to get handled by Apache at all.
