I would like to block access to my droplet from other countries. I would like to grant permission to access my drop from only a few specific countries.
How to configure this?
I am looking for a detailed answer as I am new here on DigitalOcean.
Thanks.

Use cloud flare for your dns. Then it’s easy.
Else- google max mind ip country list. This way will take time to setup and maintain
Hello, @sadhin
You can do this using CSF (ConfigServer Firewal) as well. In order to block a country you can use the CC_DENY option which accept two-letter country codes such as US, GB and etc.
In order to list more than one country you just need to separate them using comas:
CC_DENY = "AB,CD,EF"
You may find a list of ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2
If you’re not familiar with CSF or you want to install it on CentOS or Ubuntu droplet check out this mini tutorial:
For CentOS:
and for Ubuntu:
Hope this helps!
