Known restrictions and limitations
Keep the list of blocked countries short
Some country IP blocks may contain thousands of entries and adding many countries may result in
large list of blocked IP addresses, which may cause performance issues. Keep the list of blocked countries short.
This feature is not designed for use cases like:
allow access only for one country and block other countries.
