Country Blocking

Country blocking lets admins deny verification attempts from selected countries.

Common reasons to use it

• Legal or compliance requirements
• Region-specific communities
• Abuse concentrated in a known geography pattern

How to use it responsibly

Country blocking is a high-friction control. Use it only when you have a clear operational reason, not as a default.

Recommended process

• Decide the exact policy first.
• Communicate the restriction publicly.
• Keep an appeal or support process available for legitimate users.

Pairing with other controls

Country blocking is usually stronger when combined with:

• Account age restriction
• Cooldown
• VPN/proxy blocking
