 IPS GeoIP Blocking
 ==================
 
-This tutorial explains how to setup the IPS system to block IPs based on their
-geographic location. This option is made possible by the integration of the
-Maxmind GeoLite2 Country database. More information can be found here: http://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geoip2/geolite2/
+This feature has been superseded by using aliases in 17.7.
