Geo-blocking & country restriction

    Block a link from the countries you choose

    Geo-blocking for any link, for any reason — licensing, privacy, regional availability, or simply cutting traffic you don’t want. Add the countries to block and visitors from them see a neutral "not available in your region" page (or your own fallback), while everyone else goes through. Every blocked visit is logged.

    No credit card required.

    Decide exactly who can reach your link

    Block a country for any reason — and everyone else is redirected normally. One link, one blocked list you control, a clear turn-away page, and an audit trail of who was stopped.

    Block by country or region

    Keep a link out of countries where your offer isn’t available or allowed. Add individual countries or whole regions with one-click presets (US, UK, EU/EEA and more).

    A clean turn-away page

    Blocked visitors see a hosted "not available in your region" page that names their country — or a fallback URL you choose, such as a compliance notice or a different offer.

    Track who was turned away

    Blocked visits are logged separately, so you can show a geo-restriction is in effect and see which regions your traffic came from.

    Block and redirect together

    On one link, block the regions you don’t serve and redirect the rest to the right destination. Blocking is always evaluated first.

    Why people block a country

    Compliance is just one reason. Geo-blocking is useful any time a link shouldn’t reach everyone.

    Licensing & compliance

    Keep an offer, product or promotion out of regions where it isn’t licensed or permitted to appear.

    Privacy

    Keep a personal link out of your own country or region — so the people nearest you don’t stumble onto it.

    Regional availability

    Don’t send shoppers to a checkout they can’t complete — block countries you don’t ship to or serve.

    Cut unwanted traffic

    Exclude regions that only bring bots, fraud or junk clicks, so your analytics and costs reflect real audiences.

    Launch & event gating

    Restrict a link to the countries a launch, event or campaign is actually running in.

    Rights & distribution

    Honour territory restrictions on content, deals or codes by only opening the link where you’re allowed to.

    What geo-restriction can and can't do

    Country blocking is based on IP geolocation, which is accurate for the large majority of visitors but is not infallible — a user on a VPN can present a different country, as with any IP-based restriction. It is a strong, standard control for keeping a link out of regions you don’t serve, and it gives you a clear turn-away page and an audit trail of blocked visits. It is not a substitute for proper legal or licensing advice, and shouldn’t be your only compliance measure. Use it as one layer of a broader approach.
