Listing of Countries which are allowed in Geo Policy/Location using API

Shana_Miah — Thu, 10 Nov 2022 16:00:40 GMT

Hi All,

I was wondering if there were any changes in R81.10 to be able to retrieve information on which countries are allowed via an API call from external programme?

Thanks in Advance.

From R80.20, the way to implement Geo Protection is by using country-specific Updatable Objects in the Access Policy, which can be queried via API.
See: https://supportcenter.checkpoint.com/supportcenter/portal?eventSubmit_doGoviewsolutiondetails=&solutionid=sk126172&partition=Basic&product=Quantum
If you're referring to the legacy Geo Protection feature which is NOT part of the Access Policy, there are no plans to add API support for it.
In fact, we hide the legacy Geo Protection feature in R81 and above if there are no rules configured.

I'm not sure if I understood the question, but GEO objects should be part of your access control policy.
