Custom Locations

Define custom locations using country, CIDR and a range of internal IP's.

Maxmind GeoIP database (<https://www.maxmind.com/en/geoip-demo>) is used to lookup public IP's and map them to a country, if they are not mapped to custom location.

Accessing

Using the dropdown menu, navigate to Administration -> Custom Locations.

Create Custom Location

To create a new custom location entry, click the green "Add new location" button, at the upper right corner. Once clicked, a popup window will be shown, fill out the required fields.

IP range is automatically created based on the provided CIDR, see CIDR examples for explanation.

Edit Custom Location

To modify a custom location, click the "Edit" option under the "Actions" column, at the corresponding location row you wish to edit.

Once clicked, a popup window will be displayed, proceed with editting and saving the changes.

Delete Custom Location

Select "Edit" the custom location, a popup window will be shown, press the "Delete" button. 

CIDR to IP Range (Example)

You can use an online calculator, if you only have the start and end ip scope.

1. Map Single Host CIDR

Use /32 to map a single host, is written as x.x.x.x/32

2. Map Range

CIDR = 192.168.3.55/28

IP ADDRESS = 192.168.3.55

192	168	3	55
11000000	10101000	00000011	00110111

NET MASK 28 bits turned on

11111111	11111111	11111111	11110000

IP ADDRESS AND NET MASK

11000000	10101000	00000011	00110111
11111111	11111111	11111111	11110000

11000000	10101000	00000011	00110000

Start IP = 192.168.3.48 (11000000.10101000.00000011.00110000)

Last octet in the NET MASK: 11110000

11111111	11111111	11111111	11110000

Last bit turned on in last octect: 16

1	1	1	1	0	0	0	0
128	64	32	16	8	4	2	1

48-16-1=63

End IP = 192.168.3.63

IP RANGE = 192.168.3.48 - 192.168.3.63
