Geo-location filtering Policy

Block requests based on geo-location parameters: country, region code, and ASN

Configuration

The configuration shows how to configure the policy in the 'policies.json' document.

Using the Policy

Geo-location Filter Policy

Specify an allow list or block list of:

• Countries - Country of the incoming request. The two-letter country code in the request, for example, "US".
• regionCodes - If known, the ISO 3166-2 code for the first-level region associated with the IP address of the incoming request, for example, "TX"
• ASNs - ASN of the incoming request, for example, 395747.

Code
{
  "allow" : {
    "countries" : "US"
  },
  "block" : {
    "countries" : "MC"
  }
}
