Hey,

Im using openwrt with banip to only allow certain countries to access my services. Im not familiair with banip and im having issues finding documentation about it so thats why i came here.

I need to allow a certain path to allow cert-manager to get me new certificates using http challanges. If im not mistaking i have to allow the path: .well-known/acme-challenge/*.

Is their an option to allow this from any country but block all other requests?

My current config is as following:

root@OpenWrt:~# uci show | grep ban

That is what i currently have setup but cert-manager is giving me a headache and not working correctly so im looking into http instead since its easier to setup
