I am crashing out rn (IP rules not blocking my own IP)
⚔️Security✅Solved
I’m having a strange issue where Cloudflare’s security rules doesnt block the countries I tell it to block, it even can’t block my own IP, even with a very simple rule.
Sometimes (only two times out of hundreds) Requests from some countries (e.g. Ghana) are being blocked correctly by my rule country IP Block
Rules I tried (none of these block me):
Country rule
Rule name: Geography-based rule
Expression: (ip.src.country eq "SI")
Action: Block
Order: 1
Status: Active
Events last 24h: 0
I can still access the site normally from Slovenia.
Exact IP rule
Condition: ip.src eq 146.212.103.135
Action: Block
Put this rule at the very top of the list.
Still not blocked, and no events appear for my IP in Security Analytics.
I also checked:
No IP Access Rule “Allow” for my IP / country.
No Page Rules that disable security
I can provide screenshots.
Please help I am going nuts.
Thanks in advance for any ideas
