Do Fortinet AWS WAF Rule Groups cover IP Spoofing

I've been looking through other posts about how Fortinet covers IP Spoofing, but nothing was specific to the WAF Rule Groups provided with the AWS WAF product.

I think the response is yes and no.

In case the "bad" client is trying to access through a known bad gateway/proxy then this should be blocked using "IP Reputation" filter of the "Web Protection Profile".

Otherwise I don't see how FortiWeb can block such traffic.
