Feature request: Block traffic from specific country/countries via the Cloud Portal

[HamDerAndrew]

Feature

Add functionality in Umbraco Cloud to block or restrict incoming traffic from specific countries (geo-blocking) at the platform level.

Description:

Currently Umbraco Cloud does not provide a way to block traffic from specific countries.
To some customers this is an important security and compliance feature.
For example, when a website should only be accessible from certain regions, or when it’s being targeted by malicious traffic originating from a particular country.

The feature would ideally allow developers or site owners to:

• Specify one or more countries to block or allow via the Umbraco Cloud Portal.
• Optionally, log or monitor blocked requests for insight and troubleshooting.

Use Cases

Preventing spam, brute force, or bot traffic concentrated in certain regions.
Meeting legal or compliance requirements for region-specific access.
Reducing hosting and bandwidth costs from unwanted traffic sources.
