4.7.3 Configuration Ip2location BIN File Code

Configuration - Ip2location - BIN File Code

BIN file is a binary file that contains ip2location database. ip2location provides database in 2 types, CSV and BIN. Benefit of lookup via BIN files is that you can directly load the BIN file in the memory (if the system has sufficient memory) and perform lookups. This make the lookups blazing fast.

Via CLI

admin@phpterminal:firewall(config)# set ip2location bin file code 
...
OPTIONS: [DB3BINIPV6 | DB3LITEBINIPV6]

BIN FILE CODE (DB3LITEBINIPV6) : DB3LITEBINIPV6

SET IP2LOCATION BIN FILE CODE OUTPUT
...
FIREWALL DETAILS > IP2LOCATION_BIN_FILE_CODE : DB3LITEBINIPV6
...
admin@phpterminal:firewall(config)# 

Via PHP Firewall Class

$firewall->setIp2locationBinFileCode('DB3LITEBINIPV6');

NOTE: In the example above, we are using the BIN file downloaded from lite.ip2location.com website. And DB3 is sufficient for PHPFirewall to filter traffic as per ip addresses and country/state(region)/city.
