How to block everyone outside of the US.... LightSail Instance

You can use AWS WAF - https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/waf-allow-block-country-geolocation/

Another option is to use Firewalls on the Lightsail -

I have tried on mine and it looks like you can add range of IPs to allow/block. Go to the instance, click networking and from there u can add rules (this will allow traffic up to the instance though). By using AWS WAF you can block traffic hitting before

also R53 allows u to do something similar - https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/resolver-dns-firewall.html

Hi,

Thanks for using Lightsail. If you have a specific IP range that you want to restrict, you can use the instance firewall to restrict access: https://lightsail.aws.amazon.com/ls/docs/en_us/articles/amazon-lightsail-editing-firewall-rules

Regardless, I have taken your request as an item that we will follow up with the team internally.
