else {
#log local0. "The page is restricted"

iRule looks fine with few modifcations to uri and closing braces. Also, please check with the requestor if it should be explicit URL "/job-request/" or wildcard (i.e anything after) "/job-request*".
If it's a wildcard, replace "eq" with "starts_with"
when HTTP_REQUEST { if { ([string tolower [HTTP::uri]] eq "/job-request") and ([whereis [IP::client_addr] country] ne "TH") } { drop } else { return } }- Jaspreetgurm
Thanks Sanjay for replying.
/"/job-request" is specific path which needs to be restricted. So could you please advise if eq is suffice the needs or shall this change to starts_with ?
