xff and geolocation

If I want to create a dos l7 profile that needs to check the xff header as the source address (I will add an http+xff profile), and I want to exclude a country from the dosL7 policy using an LTM poli...

Thank you very much. I will test this irule. I can already say that the LTM policy does not recognize geolocation from xff IPs, so this may be our only option.

Thanks

I made some changes as I didn't find any command the was geo::ipcountry.

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    set xff_header [HTTP::header "X-Forwarded-For"]
    if { $xff_header ne "" } {
        # Extract the client IP address from the XFF header
        set client_ip [lindex [split $xff_header ","] 0]
        # Check if the request is *not* coming from the excluded country
        if {!([whereis $client_ip country] equals "country_code") } {
            # enable dos profile
            DOSL7::enable dos
            #return
		} else {
			DOSL7::disable
        }
    }
   }

I need to test it....
Will update.
