Note that reverse proxy access rules combine with AND by default (#863)

of different types (IP CIDR, country, CrowdSec) are combined with a
logical AND by default: a connection must satisfy all of them.

- Add **allowed countries** or **blocked countries** to restrict by geographic location.
- Set **CrowdSec IP Reputation** to **enforce** or **observe** to block or monitor known malicious IPs (when available on the proxy cluster).
By default, restrictions of different types are combined with a logical **AND**: a connection must satisfy all of them (for example, come from an allowed CIDR *and* an allowed country) to be allowed through.
Access restrictions are evaluated before authentication: if a connection is blocked by an access restriction rule, it is rejected before any authentication check.
