This topic describes how to configure blocked regions (domain names) for protected websites on an Anti-DDoS Pro or Anti-DDoS Premium instance. After you configure blocked regions, access requests from IP addresses that reside within the blocked regions are blocked.
Prerequisites
- A website is added to Anti-DDoS Pro or Anti-DDoS Premium and is associated with an instance that uses the enhanced function plan. For more information, see Add a website.
- Mitigation is enabled in the latest version of Anti-DDoS Pro or Anti-DDoS Premium.
Background information
Precautions
- This feature is supported only for websites. We recommend that you configure traffic block policies on the Protection for Infrastructure tab to protect non-website assets. For more information, see Configure diversion from the origin server and Configure blocked regions. Only Anti-DDoS Pro supports diversion from the origin server.
- The specified blocked regions take effect only on domain names. If you want to block regions for individual domain names, you must separately specify the regions you want to block for each domain name.
- This feature identifies and filters only requests from IP addresses that are in the blocked regions. It cannot reduce the volume of traffic.
