Block Countries List change... Europe and Europe Continent

Shawn Adams

We use a block countries rule to control from where our user can connect to the VPN.

We noticed two new entrys in the list this morning "Europe" and "Europe Continent"

 

When we take either of them out regardless that Germany is allowed, is Germany blocked.

I would like to know what counties are included in "Europe" and which ones are in "Europe Continent" and more importantly why Germany in blocked when we remove either of them from the allow list and Germany is still in the allow list.  This caused more than a little bit of chaos this morning until we figured it out.

    And what is under "Europe" only?  And will Germany still be blocked if I leave in "Europe" and remove "Europe Continent"?  I think it defies logic that I have to leave the "Europe Continent" in the list (which has a bunch of countries that will never be allowed) when I only want to allow DACH and that DACH no longer works if it is removed. The single country allowed should always overrule the groups and not the other way around. And "Europe" isn't a country so that is wrong to begin with.
