Allow Specific Subnet from Geo-Blocked Country

We have an issue allowing a specific subnet from a blocked country. We have a geo-block country firewall policy placed at the top. We have also created an IPsec tunnel with inbound and outbound policies for tunnel communication. However, the remote IP address is a public IPv4 address that belongs to one of the blocked countries.
So how can we allow this subnet. Please suggest the all possible ways.

create an object with that ip/subnet/range and then create a firewall rule allowing access by placing it above the deny rule.

If I’m correct, a new policy needs to be created above the existing deny policy.

I have a couple of questions:

  1. How should I define the source interface (srcintf) and destination interface (dstintf), as well as the source and destination addresses in the new policy

  2. I already have a customized policy for the IPsec VPN connection, but it is placed below the deny policy.

If I make these changes, will the traffic flow through the new policy? or the existing vpn policy?
