:::note For Spectrum applications configured with the HTTP/HTTPS application type, IP Access rules are the only supported mechanism for filtering traffic by IP address, IP range, country, or ASN. To use them, enable IP Access rules in your Spectrum app configuration. :::
Reason: The current documentation is leading customers to believe Custom Rules work with Spectrum apps, resulting in multiple support cases. Updating this will reduce customer confusion and support ticket volume.
