Do exceptions would for Country Blocking?

Question

I've turned on country blocking and then made an exception but the exception continues to be blocked.

I did some searching and I found that this feature didn't work in but all those discussions were old. Does this feature still not work on 9.702-1?

Alexander is exactly right. The help text is confusing; here is the simplified version: 
 
 If the filter is applied to an outside address, country list must be empty. The address filter is more precise than the country, so a country list only confuses things. 
 If the filter is applied to an inside address, the country list must not be empty. The filter provides no information about the country, so the country list must be specified.
