Blocked myself out from cosmos due to geoblock, still have ssh access to server

[kun-codes]

Hi, I blocked myself out from my cosmos install after I whitelisted only India from the geoblock. Although I am accessing it from India, it isn't working. Can you tell me if there is a way to reset this geoblock using ssh access?

Go to /var/lib/cosmos/cosmos.config.json and search for countries

Are you talking about this? Also why is this blocking me out when I am trying to access it from India? My cosmos server should be only accessible from India right?

According to Wikipedia (in simple words) webistes can guess which country you came from because every IP address are linked to an ISP and each ISP are "linked" to a country. Or at least this is how I understand it 🥲
And you may be blocked because you are using a VPN or a Proxy.
To "unlock" your Cosmos access you just need to remove {"IN"} from this file (based on your screenshot).

PS: I have limited knowledge about Internet networks, sorry if I made a mistake
And sorry for bad English
