Don't know if the module supports enable under attack mode by country, ASN ? If possible, hope you can support this feature. Thank so much.

You can use geoip2 module.

But when i try with the following configuration

map $geoip_country_code $block_country {
US 0;
default 1;
}

server {
....
waf on;
if ($block_country){
waf_under_attack on;
}
}

I get the error message "waf_under_attack" directive is not allowed here
