Website Security Guide
Country Geofencing
Country Geofencing allows website owners to restrict or allow visitors based on their physical country location, perfect for regional businesses, licensing compliance, or fraud prevention.
How it works
- Block high-risk geographic regions or mark trusted countries with simple country rules
- How to stage, review, and safely activate geographic policies across your global edge network
Good to know
- If you block a country, any specific IP addresses from that country that you placed on your IP Allowlist can still access your site seamlessly.
- WebOptiva passes the visitor's verified country code to your web server in an
x-weboptiva-countryheader, allowing you to show localized currencies or shipping estimates.
