Hey,
Im using openwrt with banip to only allow certain countries to access my services. Im not familiair with banip and im having issues finding documentation about it so thats why i came here.
I need to allow a certain path to allow cert-manager to get me new certificates using http challanges. If im not mistaking i have to allow the path: .well-known/acme-challenge/*.
Is their an option to allow this from any country but block all other requests?
My current config is as following:

Thanks for your time and have a great day!
banIP works at IP layer. It basically injects additional firewall rules to nftable to reject packets from specific set of IP addresses. It is not aware of layer 7 like HTTP.
What is your goal exactly? Do you want to allow /.well-known to all countries including the bad ones you are blocking? Then you’ve to do it at application layer or setup a reverse proxy that has WAF (Web Application Firewall) and serve ./well-known from the proxy.
