Alibaba Cloud CDN supports region blacklists and whitelists. After you add regions to a blacklist or an whitelist, Alibaba Cloud CDN identifies the source regions of requests and blocks or allows requests from the specified regions. This way, malicious requests can be blocked by region. This topic describes how to configure a region blacklist or whitelist.
This feature is unavailable. We recommend that you use the latest edition of DCDN WAF. For more information, see Overview of DCDN WAF (new edition).
