Blocking Requests Based on Country

You can block requests from individual countries to reduce the incidence of fraud or other malicious interactions.

Blocking POST requests

Blocking POST requests helps prevent malicious actions like brute-force login attempts, form hijacking (where additional fields or files are added into a form), and possible manipulation of application rules.

On the Block Bots page of your Expedited WAF dashboard, select the Country from POSTing option, and a list of countries to choose will appear.

Blocking GET requests

Blocking GET requests can stop certain forms of DDOS attacks, vulnerability scans, and fraud attempts.

On the Block Bots page, select the Country from GETing option, and a list of countries to choose will appear.
