AWS - How to allow only ip addresses from only a specific country to access EC2

I would like to block all ip addresses accessing my EC2 instance through RDP/SSH from all other countries except the local country. Is it possible to do this?

EC2 security does not provide this functionality out of the box, but you can use other utilities to restrict access base on location.

you can try ssh-geoip-filter that work like charm all you need to specify allowed countries in the ssh filter.

# UPPERCASE space-separated country codes to ACCEPT
ALLOW_COUNTRIES='US DE IT AT CH NL PK ES US'

Another option is that you cam check pam_geoip-restrict-accounts-to-certain-citiescountrys-only
