Add Geolocation Actions in WatchGuard Cloud
Applies To: Cloud-managed Fireboxes
Geolocation is a security service that enables the Firebox to detect the geographic locations of connections to and from your network. For cloud-managed Fireboxes, you can enable and configure Geolocation to block access to and from specific locations.
Add a Geolocation Action
The default Geolocation action does not block any countries. You can configure multiple Geolocation actions and assign a specific action to each policy.
For the Geolocation service to apply to traffic through the Firebox, it must also be enabled in firewall policies. For information about policy settings, see Configure Security Services in a Firewall Policy.
