Updating the IpToCountry file

Nadezhda — Thu, 04 Apr 2024 14:48:13 GMT

Hey, everybody!

We have encountered a problem with updating the IpToCountry file, which is responsible for matching IP address and country.
We have learned that the gateways in version 77.30 are accessing the old URL: http://downloads.checkpoint.com/fileserver/ID/11901/FILE/IpToCountry.csv.gz which stopped being updated in 2019.
TAC informed us that manual file replacement is also not possible.

Has anyone had experience how to try to get the gateway to address the new URL https://sc1.checkpoint.com/freud2/IpToCountry.csv.gz ?

Not to be funny but that seems to answer itself, please upgrade to a supported version.

Unfortunately we don't have the ability to update😢

Sadly, not sure what else can be done, because R77.30 has been unsupported since probably 2018 I think.

You can try below, but I would not be surprised it fails, since its old version, but you never know..
