Need some help with geoblocking caddy. (infosec.pub)

I did the whole xcaddy routine with the plugin and I moved it into /usr/bin and it works, displays my site, but I'm not blocking anything. I've edited and edited and restarted and I can't see the issue. My config matches many similar ones online. I figure someone might spot my blunder in my config, so here it is.

        maxmind_geolocation {
        db_path "/mnt/geoip/GeoLite2-Country_20250502/GeoLite2-Country.mmdb
        allow_countries US
        }
    } 
}

I disabled and removed Ubuntu's caddy before using xcaddy, then remade caddy.service and wrote up a small script to rebuild and update it when I need. I may automate it down the line.

Hmm that sounds like something you could do with n8n.

It probably would be easier to just write an "update Caddy" script. They don't release updates very often, except for security fixes, so it's not much effort to do manually. I automated mine with Forgejo Actions, you could do the same with GitHub actions as a free option for example. Lots of neat ways to accomplish this!
