+The <literal>ngx_stream_geo_module</literal> module (1.11.3) creates variables
+with values depending on the client IP address.

+<para>
+<example>
+geo $geo {
+    default        0;
+
+    127.0.0.1      2;
+    192.168.1.0/24 1;

+<directive name="geo">
+<syntax block="yes">[<value>$address</value>] <value>$variable</value></syntax>
+<default/>
+<context>stream</context>
+
+<para>
+Describes the dependency of values of the specified variable
+on the client IP address.
+By default, the address is taken from the <var>$remote_addr</var> variable,
+but it can also be taken from another variable, for example:
+<example>
+geo $arg_remote_addr $geo {
+    ...;
+}
+</example>
+</para>
+
+<para>
+<note>
+Since variables are evaluated only when used, the mere existence
+of even a large number of declared “<literal>geo</literal>” variables
+does not cause any extra costs for connection processing.
+</note>
+</para>
+
+<para>
+If the value of a variable does not represent a valid IP address
+then the “<literal>255.255.255.255</literal>” address is used.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Addresses are specified either as prefixes in CIDR notation
+(including individual addresses) or as ranges.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The following special parameters are also supported:
+<list type="tag">
+
+<tag-name><literal>delete</literal></tag-name>
+<tag-desc>
+deletes the specified network.
+</tag-desc>
+
+<tag-name><literal>default</literal></tag-name>
+<tag-desc>
+a value set to the variable if the client address does not
+match any of the specified addresses.
+When addresses are specified in CIDR notation,
+“<literal>0.0.0.0/0</literal>” and “<literal>::/0</literal>”
+can be used instead of <literal>default</literal>.
+When <literal>default</literal> is not specified, the default
+value will be an empty string.
+</tag-desc>
+
+<tag-name><literal>include</literal></tag-name>
+<tag-desc>
+includes a file with addresses and values.
+There can be several inclusions.
+</tag-desc>
+
+<tag-name><literal>ranges</literal></tag-name>
+<tag-desc>
+indicates that addresses are specified as ranges.
+This parameter should be the first.
+To speed up loading of a geo base, addresses should be put in ascending order.
+</tag-desc>
+
+</list>
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Example:
+<example>
+geo $country {
+    default        ZZ;
+    include        conf/geo.conf;
+    delete         127.0.0.0/16;
+
+    127.0.0.0/24   US;
+    127.0.0.1/32   RU;
+    10.1.0.0/16    RU;
+    192.168.1.0/24 UK;
+}
+</example>
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The <path>conf/geo.conf</path> file could contain the following lines:
+<example>
+10.2.0.0/16    RU;
+192.168.2.0/24 RU;
+</example>
+</para>
+
+<para>
+A value of the most specific match is used.
+For example, for the 127.0.0.1 address the value “<literal>RU</literal>”
+will be chosen, not “<literal>US</literal>”.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Example with ranges:
+<example>
+geo $country {
+    ranges;
+    default                   ZZ;
+    127.0.0.0-127.0.0.0       US;
+    127.0.0.1-127.0.0.1       RU;
+    127.0.0.1-127.0.0.255     US;
+    10.1.0.0-10.1.255.255     RU;
