Do you use RemoteIPProxyProtocol? "QS_ClientGeoIpFromHeader X-Forwarded-For" only works if there is a HTTP request header in the request. Alternatively, you could use an Apache module provided by the service you get the geo-data from (I assume this provider offers such a module and that it might relay on mod_remoteip) instead of using mod_qos to set the country code. You can probably still use mod_qos using this country code in your rules.

with the following assumptions: you have a non-Apache reverse proxy in front of your Apache server the proxy forwards the client's IP address (single) in an HTTP request header you have to use mod_remoteip (because of other Apache modules / functionality you used) you want to use mod_qos's geo location feature to set the QS_Country variable you want to use some QS_Client* directives of mod_qos my recommendation is: use mod_qos 11.78 and its new QS_ClientGeoIpFromHeader directive your configuration...

mod_qos was designed to be used in the reverse proxy / at the outermost perimeter where the TCP connection is terminated. You use mod_remoteip for other purpose as well, right? And your proxy sends the IP via HTTP request header (and it is not possible to put it into two headers)? I would rather go with an approach duplicating the header (before mod_remotip removes it) rather than changing the hook sequence for this particular use case. Or I add a directive to define the real header for the use of...
