Firewall Rule to Forward URL

[mike61]

Hello,

Is it possible to create a firewall rule whereby if a visitor is not from a certain list of countries (this is already implemented for some of my domains), then it is possible to forward that visitor to a different URL?

The reason for this is I don’t want people signing up on certain member sites if they are outside of defined countries (as we can’t offer local support); however, I do want visitors to be able to access the Web site if they already joined the site from within an allowable country.

For example, let’s say a domain allows members to only sign up if they are within the UK, so the visitor signs up in the UK, but then they travel to Brazil (as an example), then I still want them to be able to access the login page for their existing account, but do not want new visitors to signup from Brazil.

Kind regards, MIke

I just learned about this trick:

Redirect from a page to anotherpage for specific country for free

This can actually be done using a combination of Transform Rules and Page Rules. Transform Rules let you target various different parameters, including Country. So you can create a Transform Rule that only triggers if the user request came from the country you want to redirect. In the action of the Transform Rule, make a modification to the URL that you can later on match in a Page Rule. Then create a Page Rule that matches against the altered URL, and perform the Page forwarding.

That’s a good trick. I’m going to bookmark this.
