Summary

Netlify has released Firewall Traffic Rules, a new feature that allows Enterprise customers to control access to their web properties based on IP address and geographic location. This feature empowers teams to create and manage traffic rules directly from within the Netlify platform, providing an added layer of protection against malicious web attacks. With Firewall Traffic Rules, teams can block or allow requests from specific IP addresses and countries, grant explicit website access for vendor and contractor networks, prevent visitors from accessing sites from countries that do not adhere to their organization's business policies, and control infrastructure bandwidth spend by blocking unwanted traffic from specific IPs, IP ranges, and countries. The feature is designed to be quick and easy to configure, with granular options for fine-tuning rules as needed.
