# Geoblocking

The **APM Geoblocking** feature allows you to block traffic from many IP addresses that are currently known to belong to networks in other regions or countries.

Firewall policy must have a **Geo Group** defined as source or as destination object.

Once selected, the list and map will populate the countries/regions defined in the group.
