As a company we are tracking and blocking specific countries users from downloading and using other company properties. 

 

Can you restrict users some certain countries from signing up on the Insided platform? Can you block people via their IP addresses? How do you circumvent users from selecting another country in the user country pick list when signing up? 

@Dkreiger technically you can use Geolocation API in Javascript to treat people from different countries differently. BUT this is not supported by all browsers and can be easily circumvented via a VPN, and considering your audience is likely tech-savvy, that will probably not solve your problem.

The implementation that your main website has is likely vulnerable in the same way however, so you wouldn’t be creating a “breach”. If the website has something more advanced in place then you could rely on the website to register community members.

Maybe someone here has more knowledge on the topic than I do?


Thanks @SmartlyGreg for your response. That is what I am worried about with this tech savvy community.
