Geoblocking

Configure Geo Blocking to block selected countries or allow access only from selected countries.

Control access to CDN-delivered content based on the geographic location of incoming requests.

Geo Blocking allows you to block requests from selected countries or allow access only from selected countries.

Geo Blocking is configured per CDN Resource under Security → Geo blocking in the Medianova Control Panel.

Configure Geo Blocking

1

Open Geo Blocking

Open the CDN Resource that you want to configure, select Security, and then select Geo blocking.

2

Enable Geo Blocking

Turn on Geo Blocking.

3

Select the Mode

Under Mode, select how the configured countries are handled:

• Block Selected — Block requests from the selected countries.

• Allow only selected — Allow requests only from the selected countries. Requests from other countries are blocked.

When Allow only selected is used, visitors from countries that are not selected cannot access the content.

4

Select Countries

Select the countries to which the configured mode applies.

You can:

• Select countries individually.

• Search for a country using Search country....

• Filter the country list by region.

• Use Select all or Deselect all to update the complete selection.

• Select all countries within a displayed region.

The map and selection counter indicate the countries currently included in the configuration.

5

Save the Configuration

Select Save in the pending changes bar.

Review the pending changes and confirm the configuration.

How Geo Blocking Works

Geo Blocking evaluates the geographic location associated with an incoming request and applies the configured country policy.

Mode	Behavior
Block Selected	Requests from selected countries are blocked. Requests from other countries are allowed.
Allow only selected	Requests from selected countries are allowed. Requests from other countries are blocked.

Common Use Cases

Geo Blocking can be used to:

• Restrict content to countries where it is intended to be available.

• Block access from specific countries.

• Apply country-based content distribution requirements.

Important Notes

• Geo Blocking applies country-based access rules to the selected CDN Resource.

• The selected countries are interpreted according to the configured Mode.

• Review the country selection carefully when using Allow only selected, because all countries outside the selection are blocked.

• Changes take effect after the updated CDN Resource configuration is saved.
