Is there a way of whitelisting access to ports based on ip geolocation using UFW.

There's no way to add an entire country or location to UFW using one command, but you could collect a list of IP addresses that are likely to be used in one location and then add all of them to UFW in just a few steps. There's a guide on doing so here:

Good stuff, mjones. Thanks a lot for sharing. I blocked China just because.
