Hi there,
We suffer from numerous login attempts to our Email server. Because they origin from a specific country we decided to block this country in kerio control. No succes. We looked into the logfiles from Kerio connect and found that the reported ip belongs to an other country. The country we want to block is Bulgaria, the reported country in connect is the US. Does anyone know how to solve this or could tell us what we did wrong. Thanks!

Hi Walter

This should help....

Please consider that sometimes, the GeoIP database may miscategorize IP addresses and countries. This article provides information on how to manually update GeoIP database definitions. In order to solve that you will need to update the GeoIP manually if there are some inconsistencies with some IP addresses. The procedure explained in the "Manually Updating GeoIP Database" ( https://support.keriocontrol.gfi.com/hc/en-us/articles/36001 5189319-Manually-Updating-GeoIP-Database) article can be used for this.

This is more a Kerio Control issue than a Kerio Connect issue. So you might want to post the question in the Kerio Control forum.

We also get a lot of failed login attempts (I think everyone does), but Kerio Connect has certain protections, e.g. if the same IP address fails with login a certain number of times it is blocked for a while. So if your users have sufficiently secure passwords, this should not be a problem.

In the Security log, you will see

[28/May/2023 07:50:13] SMTP: AntiHammering - IP address 80.94.95.144 will be blocked for 5 minutes, too many failed logins from this IP address.
