Folks using CSF Firewall or have web apps using Maxmind's GeoLite2 database will be affected by a change made by Maxmind GeoLite2 database distribution method at https://blog.maxmind.com/2019/12/18/significant-changes-to-accessing-and-using-geolite2-databases/.

For CSF Firewall, you need to register an account at https://www.maxmind.com/en/geolite2/signup (VPN needs to be disabled if you're behind to signup) and then go to your License Key section at https://www.maxmind.com/en/accounts/current/license-key and generate a Maxmind token API key and then update your CSF Firewall /etc/csf/csf.conf config file MM_LICENSE_KEY variable with the token API key and restart CSF Firewall afterwards.

CSF Firewall can be optionally used on cPanel and other control panels so check with your web host or system administrators to see if that is the case.

For Centmin Mod LEMP stack users news and update instructions are available at https://community.centminmod.com/th...eolite2-free-database-download-changes.18959/.
