:::tip[Recommendation: Use custom rules instead] Cloudflare recommends that you create custom rules instead of IP Access rules to perform IP-based or geography-based blocking (geoblocking). :::
:::note IP Access Rules are only available in the new security dashboard if you have configured at least one IP access rule. :::
-
In the Cloudflare dashboard, go to the Security rules page.
-
Select Create rule > IP access rules.
-
Enter the following rule details:
- For IP, IP range, country name, or ASN, enter an IP address, IP range, country code/name, or Autonomous System Number (ASN). For details, refer to IP Access rules parameters.
- For Action, select an action.
- For Zone, select whether the rule applies to the current website only or to all websites in the account.
- (Optional) Enter a note for the rule (for example,
Payment Gateway).
-
Select Create.
-
Log in to the Cloudflare dashboard, and select your account and domain.
-
Go to Security > WAF > Tools.
-
Under IP Access Rules, enter the following details:
- For Value, enter an IP address, IP range, country code/name, or Autonomous System Number (ASN). For details, refer to IP Access rules parameters.
- Select an action.
- For Zone, select whether the rule applies to the current website only or to all websites in the account.
- (Optional) Enter a note for the rule (for example,
Payment Gateway).
-
Select Add.
Use the Cloudflare API to programmatically create IP access rules. For more information, refer to Create an IP Access Rule.
