Geoblocking

Restrict or allow access to your CDN Resources based on geographic location by configuring country-based whitelists and blacklists.

Geoblocking allows you to control which countries can access your content through the Medianova Control Panel. By enabling this feature, you can restrict or allow requests based on the visitor’s geographic origin, helping you comply with regional policies and protect your digital assets.

Geoblocking operates at the CDN edge, preventing unauthorized access before requests reach your origin server.

Why Use Geoblocking?

Use Geoblocking to manage access and enforce content distribution policies efficiently:

• Compliance and licensing – Restrict access to regions where content rights do not apply.

• Dynamic pricing models – Apply different pricing or service availability by country.

• Security enhancement – Block known high-risk regions or malicious traffic.

• Content optimization – Focus delivery to target markets, reducing unnecessary traffic.

Combine Geoblocking with IP Restriction for granular, IP-based exceptions within approved countries.
