What is Geo-fencing?

How it works?

1. 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.
   
2. 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.
   
3. By geo-fencing, you can restrict sign-ins from web, mobile browsers and connected apps as well as 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.
