Geo/ASN provider options (local DB / optional MaxMind with caching)

Feature

Geo/ASN providers — Lets you choose how geo and ASN enrichment works (local-first with caching; optional MaxMind where configured).

How it works

Geo/ASN enrichment can add context for rules (country/ASN allow/deny). Caching prevents repeated lookups and keeps performance stable.

How to access / enable

  1. WP Admin → AegisSpamGuard → Settings
  2. Geo / ASN defaults
  3. Choose provider and cache behavior (if available).

Recommended setting

Recommended: Keep Geo/ASN OFF unless you need geo rules; enable only after confirming hosting performance.

Geo lookups are optional—don’t add complexity unless you’ll use the rules.

Why you need this

Admins running targeted geo restrictions or seeing country-based spam benefit from this optional layer.
