> When both geo\_blocking\_country\_region\_blocklist and geo\_blocking\_country\_region\_allowlist are configured, only geo\_blocking\_country\_region\_allowlist should be evaluated. If it is not configured, then geo\_blocking\_country\_region\_blocklist should be evaluated.

PR welcome if you do the following to make it backwards compatible with the current functionality:

Add an extra setting “block all except allowlist” and only when that setting is enabled it will behave like you describe.
