By configuring Access Control by Region, you can manage the blocklist and allowlist of playback regions for the current domain, providing better control over content distribution in specific areas.
How It Works
If you are configuring a blocklist, requests from the selected regions are banned.
If you are configuring an allowlist, only requests from the selected regions are allowed.
Must-Knows
After you complete the configuration of the blocklist and allowlist for the playback region, it takes approximately 10 minutes to take effect.
If you have enabled both the IP Blocklist/Allowlist Configuration and playback region management features, note that the IP blocklist/allowlist takes precedence over playback region management.

Click to select the playback region configuration as Allowlist or Blocklist:
Allowlist and Blocklist are mutually exclusive, and only one can be effective at the same time.
If a playback region Allowlist is configured, access is allowed for the regions within the Allowlist, and they can request live content. Access is denied for regions outside the Allowlist, and they are unable to request live content.
If a playback region Blocklist is configured, access is denied for the regions within the Blocklist, and they are unable to request live content. Access is allowed for regions outside the Blocklist, and they can request live content.
Configuring Regions
Based on your business requirements, you can view and select the options for Asia, Africa, Europe, North America, South America, and Oceania to expand their respective submenus. You can choose the desired regions from the submenu list to perform the corresponding configurations.
