Country based redirection on nginx behind load balancer|Geo Location Based redirection<\/h3>\n

Date Posted: 19-12-2017<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are scenario where we want to setup country based redirection depends on visitor. In this post, we will explain on how to setup country based redirection on nginx which is behind load balancer.<\/p>\n

Assumption:<\/h4>\n
    \n
  1. Nginx webserver. If nginx is not installed, follow the posts.\n
      \n
    1. Ubuntu 16.04<\/a><\/li>\n
    2. Centos 7<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
    3. Redirects India customer to\u00a0example.in\u00a0<\/em>and rest of the country to\u00a0example.com<\/em><\/li>\n
    4. Webserver is behind the load balancer.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Implementation:<\/h4>\n

      If you followed our previous articles then the default configuration path will be\u00a0\/etc\/nginx\/nginx.conf\u00a0<\/em>and domain configuration will be\u00a0\/etc\/nginx\/sites-enabled\/default.conf<\/em><\/p>\n

      Open the nginx configuration and add the below lines under\u00a0http\u00a0<\/em>section<\/p>\n

      vi \/etc\/nginx\/nginx.conf<\/code><\/p>\n

      real_ip_header X-Forwarded-For;\r\nset_real_ip_from 0.0.0.0\/0;\r\nreal_ip_recursive on;\r\ngeoip_country \/usr\/share\/GeoIP\/GeoIP.dat;\r\n<\/pre>\n
      Please make sure that the file \/usr\/share\/GeoIP\/GeoIP.dat exists.<\/p>\n
      Where,<\/p>\n
      The X-Forwarded-For and X-Real-IP directives in the above config will properly forward the Client IP from the Nginx server.<\/p>\n
      real_ip_recursive to on will return the leftmost (original) IP instead of the rightmost (most recent) IP from the X-Forwarded-For header.<\/p>\n
      Open the site configuration file(default config is\u00a0\/etc\/nginx\/sites-enabled\/default.conf)\u00a0<\/em>and append the below line inside the\u00a0server\u00a0<\/em> block.<\/p>\n
      vi \/etc\/nginx\/sites-enabled\/default.conf<\/code><\/p>\n
      if ($geoip_country_code = IN){\r\nreturn 301 http:\/\/example.in;\r\n}\r\n<\/pre>\n
      The above line will redirect the traffic to example.in incase if the traffic is generating from India.<\/p>\n
      Verify the nginx syntax<\/p>\n
      nginx -t<\/code><\/p>\n
      Restart the nginx service.<\/p>\n
      service nginx restart<\/code><\/p>\n
      Access the domain or IP address from India and the request will be redirected to example.in.<\/p>\n
