### Block

The Block action prevents users from reaching an application behind Access.

For example, this configuration blocks every request to the application, except for requests from `[email protected]`:
The Block action prevents users who meet certain critera from reaching an application behind Access. For example, the following policy blocks requests from Russian source IPs that are not on your [list of approved IPs](/cloudflare-one/policies/gateway/lists/).

| Action | Rule type | Selector | Value |
| ------ | --------- | -------- | ----------------- |
| Block | Include | Everyone | `Everyone` |
| | Exclude | Email | `[email protected]` |
| Block | Include | Country | `Russian Federation` |
| | Exclude | IP list | `Corporate IP allowlist` |
