AWS WAF adds Anonymous IP List for AWS Managed Rules
You can now identify and block requests to your web applications from VPN, Tor nodes, proxies, and data centers by using the new Anonymous IP List for AWS Managed Rules. This new managed rule group helps you block users who attempt to hide their identity or evade geographic restrictions. The managed rule group can also help block malicious traffic that originates from bots behind these anonymous networks.
