Description This article describes how to resolve a connection getting blocked by GEO-IP when the source is a private IP.
Scope FortiWeb.
Solution

GEO-IP is a security feature that allows access based on the client's Location/Country. However, in some cases, the client might be using a private IP and still gets blocked by GEO-IP:

This issue can be resolved by removing the category 'unknown country/region' from the Selected Geolocation List.
