You can use the geo restriction feature, also known as geoblocking, to prevent users in specific geographic locations from accessing content that you're distributing through a CloudFront web distribution.

When a user requests your content, CloudFront typically serves the requested content regardless of where the user is located. If you want to prevent users in specific countries from accessing your content, you can use the CloudFront geo restriction feature to do one of the following:

• Allow users to access your content only if they're in one of the countries on a whitelist of approved countries.
• Prevent users from accessing your content if they're in one of the countries on a blacklist of banned countries.

Note: Because CloudFront uses GeoIP, the accuracy may vary. For additional information, see
