Explanation

Limiting web traffic by country of origin (geo-blocking/geo-filtering) requires controls that can inspect traffic source information and apply policy based on it. Proxies can intercept and forward web requests, allowing filtering based on source IP/geolocation. Firewalls can use ACLs and geo-IP rules to block or allow traffic from specific IP address ranges associated with countries. URL filtering can restrict access to or from domains and IP ranges tied to specific geographic regions. Spam filters target email, not web traffic. Load balancers distribute traffic for availability but do not enforce geo-restrictions. Antivirus scans for malware but does not filter by traffic origin. NIDS (Network Intrusion Detection System) detects threats but does not block traffic.
