Geo-fencing
What is Geo-fencing?
Geo-fencing enables you to restrict or allow access to your account based on your geographical locations. It increases security by preventing access from outside the designated areas.
How it works?
- When you set up geo-fencing, we gather the list of your allowed or restricted countries, which includes the ranges of IP addresses associated with the specific geographical location.
- When a sign-in request is received, we check the IP address against the list and either allow or restrict access based on your configured setup.
- By geo-fencing, you can restrict sign-ins from desktop, mobile browsers and third-party apps integrated with IMAP, POP, CalDav and CardDav protocols.
Note: Since geo-fencing works based on the IP address, if you've connected with a VPN to a country which is not in the list of allowed locations, you won't be able to access you account.
