What's it doing by default when I load it? I am assuming it will kick players whos Steam location is same as one of those country code?
But the description never says, and I don't want to ban those individuals just kick based on IP?

Thanks very much

It limits, blocks, or allows players to connect bars on their country; as the description states. It uses IP geolocation.

Yeah but when you load it wih default config, what's it doing? I assumed it will kick those countries which are listed? But it's apparently not doing that, so I really have no idea now

Do I have to set "ban players from blacklisted countries" true for the blocking to activate/ is that the only way blocking will work?

For further clarity, i'm trying to block asian countries from EU server, but it doesn't seem to be working with my config:
{
"API key for paid IP lookup service (if applicable)": "YOUR_API_KEY",
"Ban player if country is blacklisted (true/false)": false,
"Only allow players from server's country (true/false)": false,
"Cache responses from IP lookup service provider (true/false)": true,
"Number of retries on IP lookup fail (0 to disable)": 3,
"Log connections from players (true/false)": true,
"Use country code list as a whitelist (true/false)": false,
"List of two-digit countries codes to check": [
"CN",
"JP",
"HK",
"KR",
"VN"
]
}

Per the default config, any players connecting that are detected as being from one of the countries listed would be kicked. You can check your logs to see what happens if they are not kicked.
