Pangolin now supports native geo-blocking. If you previously installed the Traefik GeoBlock plugin, remove it before enabling native geo-blocking to avoid duplicate blocking or startup errors.

After cleanup, follow Enable Geo-location to configure the geo-location database used by native geo-blocking in Pangolin.
