Configuration Steps
An enterprise provides a LAN server for internet users to access, but only specific to domestic services. To avoid malicious access by foreign IP addresses, you must set in NGAF to allow only users using IP addresses in mainland China to access the LAN server.
Step 1.Navigate to Policy > GeoLocation Blocking, and click Add. Then, the Add dialog box appears. See the figure below.
Step 2.Enter the policy name Only Allow China to Access in the Name field, select Enabled for the Status parameter, enter a custom description in the Description field, and select WAN for the WAN Zone parameter in the Source section. For more information about how to define the zone, see Section 5.2 Zone.
Step 3.Select a custom server as the network object. For more information about defining the network object, see Section 8.1 Network Object or click Add to add it.
Step 4.Select Allow access from specified countries/regions for the Action parameter and Asia-Pacific Region or China for the Country/Region parameter. See the figure below.
Step 5.Click Save. Then, the configuration is complete. In this case, only the IP address of mainland China can access the LAN server.
Step 6.If internet users use IP addresses other than mainland China to access the LAN server, the access fails. If internet users use IP addresses of mainland China to access the LAN server, the access succeeds.
