I understand you're seeing unexpected blocking of US IP addresses when using a geo-location rule in Azure Web Application Firewall. To help diagnose this, I need a few more details:
- Which Azure WAF product and tier are you using (e.g., Application Gateway WAF, Azure Front Door WAF, or Azure CDN WAF)?
- Do you have any logs or diagnostic data showing the US IP addresses being blocked, including the rule ID or action taken?
Please share the requested details in a private message for further troubleshooting.
