Block users from your website based on their location using Geo Targetly’s API.

== Description ==

[youtube https://youtu.be/t6Kk32glfro]

The geo block service allows you to block visitors from your website based on their geolocation. This is possible by redirecting blocked visitors to a URL of your choice.

Specifically, you can block visitors by **country, state, region, city, latitude-longitude-radius zone, and IP address**. The block can be applied throughout your website, a particular sub-directory of your website, or an individual page.

For step-by-step guidance, consult our Quick Start Guide: https://help.geotargetly.com/en/articles/2147736-quick-start-guide

And for help with tracking code implementation, check out our integration guide playlist on YouTube.

**Please Note:** It is possible to bypass geo blocking by using a VPN or disabling JavaScript in the browser.
