Blocking countries, Tor nodes, proxies, and data centers

Should your customers come from data centers? Not typically. It could be helpful to exclude some of the traffic sources to improve the security of applications and APIs.

With Wallarm, you can block traffic originated from a specific country based on compliance requirements,or block Tor exit nodes and popular proxy servers frequently generating a lot of malicious requests.

Wallarm also identifies and displays in the Wallarm Console the IP address sources, i.e countries, data centers, VPN, and residential proxies.

Read more about the new blocking features on our documentation portal.

We rely on the data from 3rd party providers including IP2Location which is a partner of Wallarm.
