Enable GeoIP Services For a Domain

Overview

GeoIP services match queries based on location, IPv4/IPv6 EDNS client subnets, and/or Autonomous System Network (ASN) numbers using IP filters and Geo Proximity rules. These features can be applied to A, AAAA, ANAME, and CNAME records.


Common Use Cases for GeoIP DNS Services

GeoIP services provide the fastest and most accurate resolution speeds for end users. They can be configured to serve different content or to block unwanted or suspicious traffic based on region, ASN, or subnets.
