How Do I Allow Requests from Only IP Addresses in a Specified Geographical Region?
If you allow only IP addresses in a region to access the protected domain name, for example, only IP addresses from Ireland can access the protected domain name, take the following steps:
Geolocation access control rules have higher priority than built-in WAF rules. If you configure a geolocation access control rule to allow IP addresses from a certain location, WAF then forwards traffic from those IP addresses without performing basic web protection checks.
- Add a geolocation access control rule: Select Ireland for Geolocation and select Allow for Protective Action.
