Allow traffic from a source IP

To tighten up security we are blocking countries where we see a lot of illegal traffic from, however there are some companies in those countries that we deal with.  Is there  a way to allow traffic from those companies while blocking all other traffic from that country?

In a nutshell: no. There's no override with Geo IP blocking.

 

In my own, completely personal opinion I wish that this whole Geo IP blocking would simply end up being used. It simply doesn't make any sense because the attackers you should be worrying about won't ever be blocked by that.

Thanks.

maybe this should be a suggestion for future enhancements that in the layer y rules we can white list an IP address and place it before the geo blocking rules.


Thanks
