GeoBlock
Some visitors shouldn't see your page. Now they won't.
Licensing restrictions. Sanctions compliance. Regional content rights. Whatever the reason — GeoBlock lets you restrict page access by country with three clean modes: show a message, display a modal, or redirect away. No ambiguity, no workarounds, no pageview limits.
No credit card · Setup in 60 seconds · Free forever
TL;DR
GeoBlock restricts page access by country using three modes: inline message, popup modal, or redirect. It fires before all other GeoSwap products (Tier 1 priority) and requires explicit segment targeting — no accidental blocking. No A/B testing by design. Free with no limits. Geo Targetly charges $29–349/mo for equivalent functionality.

Features
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
Three block modes for different situations
Message mode replaces page content with inline HTML. Popup mode shows a modal overlay. Redirect mode navigates the visitor to a different URL entirely. Pick the mode that fits your compliance requirement.
Tier 1 priority — blocks everything
GeoBlock is evaluated before any other GeoSwap product. When a block rule matches, nothing else fires — no bars, no popups, no content swaps. The page is locked. This is intentional: blocking is absolute.
Rules are required — blocking is deliberate
Unlike GeoBar or GeoPopup, GeoBlock requires you to target specific segments. There's no "block everyone by default" footgun. You must explicitly choose which countries to block. Deliberate design for a deliberate action.
No A/B testing — by design
You don't A/B test access control. Blocking is a compliance and legal decision, not a conversion experiment. Other products have A/B splits. GeoBlock doesn't, and that's the right call.
Custom HTML for block messages
In message and popup modes, you write the HTML visitors see. Explain why access is restricted, link to an alternative, or provide contact information. Full control over the blocked experience.
Works alongside other GeoSwap products
GeoBlock fires first. If no block rule matches, your bars, popups, content swaps, and everything else work normally. Blocking and personalization coexist — one dashboard, clean separation.

Use cases
Built for real workflows
Sanctions and export compliance
Block access from OFAC-sanctioned countries (Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, etc.) with a clear compliance message. Automatic, auditable, and always enforced — no manual IP list management.
Content licensing restrictions
Your video content is licensed for the US and Canada only? Block all other countries with a message explaining regional availability. Streaming platforms, media companies, and publishers use this daily.
Regional product availability
Selling a product that can't ship to certain countries? Block those countries from the product page with a redirect to your international alternatives page. No confused checkout attempts.
Regulatory compliance for financial services
Financial products often can't be offered in certain jurisdictions. Block access from non-licensed countries with a regulatory disclosure. Clean, defensible, automatic.
