Geo-fencing | Manage your Zoho account - Zoho Accounts

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?

  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 desktop, mobile browsers and third-party apps integrated with IMAP, POP, CalDav and CardDav protocols.
Notes
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.

How to set up?

  1. Sign in to accounts.zoho.com.
  2. Under Security, click Geo-fencing.
  3. Click Set up Geo-fencing.
  4. Select your preferred countries.
  5. Choose whether you need to allow or restrict access from the selected countries.
  6. Click Next.
  7. Select the sign-in request type for which you want to apply this restriction.
  8. Click Enable.
