Is it possible to block access to my Webflow website for certain countries using a code or third-party tool?

TL;DR
  • Use Cloudflare by connecting your custom domain, updating DNS to Webflow’s IPs, and setting country-based blocking rules in the Firewall tab.  
  • Alternatively, use advanced reverse proxy solutions like AWS CloudFront or Fastly, or embed JavaScript-based geolocation (less secure).

Yes, you can block access to your Webflow site by country, but it requires using a third-party tool since Webflow doesn’t offer built-in geo-blocking.

​

1. Use Cloudflare for Geo-Blocking

​

Cloudflare is a popular tool that supports geo-blocking and can be used in combination with Webflow's hosting.

​

  • Connect your custom domain to Cloudflare by changing your nameservers to Cloudflare’s.
  • Point your DNS records in Cloudflare to Webflow’s IP addresses: (a) 75.2.70.75, (b) 99.83.190.102.
  • In Cloudflare, go to the Firewall tab, then Tools → Access Rules.
  • Under "Action," choose “Block”, select the country, and choose “This Website” to apply the rule.
  • Repeat for each country you want to block.

​

2. Use Third-Party Reverse Proxy Solutions

​

If you're comfortable with more advanced setups:

​

  • Use services like Fastly, AWS CloudFront with Lambda@Edge, or Vercel with custom middleware for IP geolocation and blocking.
  • You’ll need to host your site behind a proxy and configure rules based on geolocation.

​

Note: This requires migrating off Webflow Hosting and serving the exported static Webflow project through the proxy/CDN.

​

3. Embed JavaScript-Based Detection (Less Reliable)

​

Some third-party geolocation services like ipdata.co, ipstack, or geoip-js provide client-side IP detection.

​

  • You can use their scripts to detect location and redirect or display a blocking message.
  • Limitations:
  • Client-side solutions are not secure (they can be bypassed).
  • They don’t actually prevent requests from reaching your server.

​

Summary

​

Webflow does not support native country blocking, but you can effectively block regions using Cloudflare’s firewall rules with a custom domain. JavaScript options exist but are less secure and not truly preventative.
