Comment it out? Put it in paranoid? Leave only a smaller subset?

Even if those are risky simply putting these on default will be a mistake. Most people don't read the configuration file or don't fully understand every feature and just stick with the default configuration. If you want advanced protection then you are forced to make changes or even make your own rules.

I would probably still comment out the default country list - but that's a different question. I've removed the rule from the list of paranoia candidates. Btw: The country list involves China, but the documentation does not name China (but all the other countried).

I honestly haven¹t heard many complaints about this feature and as a result I¹d probably leave it enabled as it as sad as it is, is fairly effective.

The rule does: SecRule GEO:COUNTRY_CODE "@pm %{tx.high_risk_country_codes}" With tx.high_risk_country_codes being set to "UA ID YU LT EG RO BG TR RU PK MY CN" in modsecurity_crs_10_setup.conf.example. Depending on your location, requests from the given set of countried may be desired and not potential attacks. So I t hink Franziska has a point. One resolution would be to leave the rule where it is, but comment out the definition of the variable in modsecurity_crs_10_setup.conf.example and provide multiple default variants in the comments. That could also be performed in combination with the move to the paranoia mode. Opinions?
