Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt Monday at 02:04 PM
AdminHaptX Posted December 11, 2023 Posted December 11, 2023 I know that using the Geolocation settings I can block countries from creating an account, but is there a way to block countries from accessing the site at all? I want it to just come up with a 404 error code. I can't seem to find an answer on this.
Solution Jim M Posted December 11, 2023 Solution Posted December 11, 2023 Sorry, there would not be a way to do this in the software. You can block countries from registering or block IP addresses which would see a message about not being able to access the community.

Adriano Faria Posted December 11, 2023 Posted December 11, 2023 Just now, Caleb Rabbon said: Is that something I can find on the marketplace? This is better handled at server level.

teraßyte Posted December 11, 2023 Posted December 11, 2023 As Adriano mentioned above, you're better off doing something like this at the server level. It's possible to write a custom modification for it, but the user would still hit the server, start a request on Invision Community, run queries, use more server resources, etc. If you handle it at the server level they'll be blocked much faster and use fewer resources overall.
