### What the Test Shows
The test evaluates your active country rules and displays the expected result.
Possible outcomes include:
* Allowed
* Blocked
* Redirected
* Watch Only
### Important Notes
* Tests do not affect real visitors.
* Tests do not create activity records.
* Tests help verify rule behavior before activation.
### Best Practice
Always test newly created country rules before enabling them to avoid blocking legitimate visitors.
