Configure an IP restriction rule with a WAF for Azure Front Door

  • Članek

This article shows you how to configure IP restriction rules in a web application firewall (WAF) for Azure Front Door by using the Azure portal, the Azure CLI, Azure PowerShell, or an Azure Resource Manager template.

An IP address–based access control rule is a custom WAF rule that lets you control access to your web applications. The rule specifies a list of IP addresses or IP address ranges in Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) format.

There are two types of match variables in an IP address match: RemoteAddr and SocketAddr. The RemoteAddr variable is the original client IP that's usually sent via the X-Forwarded-For request header. The SocketAddr variable is the source IP address the WAF sees. If your user is behind a proxy, SocketAddr is often the proxy server address.

By default, your web application is accessible from the internet. If you want to limit access to clients from a list of known IP addresses or IP address ranges, you can create an IP matching rule that contains the list of IP addresses as matching values and sets the operator to Not (negate is true) and the action to Block. After an IP restriction rule is applied, requests that originate from addresses outside this allowed list receive a 403 Forbidden response.
