Question About Blocking Specific Countries and Website Accessibility

Hi everyone,

I have a question regarding country-based blocking. If I block traffic from a specific country on a website, I notice something strange:

When I try to access the website from that country, it doesn't open as expected.

However, if I wait for some time and check again, the website sometimes becomes accessible, even though the block is still in place.


Why does this happen? Is there a delay in WAF rules applying consistently, or could it be related to caching, proxies, or something else?

I’d appreciate any insights or advice on this behavior!
