With the use of Cloudflare geofencing technology, website owners can restrict access to their sites or particular content depending on where users are located. At Bobcares, with our Server Management Service, we can handle your issues.

What is Cloudflare Geofencing?

Cloudflare geofencing is a service that lets website owners limit access to their sites or particular content depending on users’ location. In order for it to function, a virtual fence must be built around a certain geographic area. Users are then subject to access rules depending on whether they are inside or outside of the area.

Usually, the process of setting geofencing with Cloudflare involves setting up firewall rules according to the areas. The steps to set up the feature are as follows:

Steps

1. Enter the login details to use the Cloudflare account.

2. Choose the website from the dashboard for which we wish to set up geofencing if we are in charge of many domains.

3. After choosing the website, go to the dashboard’s Firewall section.

4. Find and click the “Create a new firewall rule” option under the Firewall section.

5. Define the conditions under which we want the rule to be used in the new rule creation interface. With Cloudflare, we may match traffic according to specified latitude and longitude coordinates, nations, or regions.

6. Now, explain what we would like Cloudflare to do in the event that the needs are satisfied. To limit access using geofencing, we should probably select an action like “Block” or “Challenge” to limit access from specific geographic places.

7. Enter the regions we wish to apply the rule to. This might be defining unique geographic locations by sketching custom shapes on a map or by choosing particular nations, regions, or cities.

8. After setting the regions, actions, and conditions, check that the rule satisfies the needs by going over it again. Save the rule after that to apply it to the traffic on the website.

9. Consider testing the rule to make sure it functions as intended before carrying out it on the live website.

10. After testing and adjusting the rule as needed, publish it to the live website to impose geofencing limits on incoming traffic.

11. Keep an eye on the performance and traffic patterns of the website to make sure that the rules are successfully limiting access based on specific geographic locations.
