BentBox Geo Blocking
Full control over who can discover and view your BentBox page and content boxes. Block entire countries or individual US and Australian states — no technical knowledge required.
What is Geo Blocking?
Geo Blocking is a privacy and compliance tool built directly into BentBox. Through a simple settings interface, you can prevent visitors from specific regions from ever reaching your profile or your boxes of photos and videos. When someone from a blocked location tries to view your page, they are told the user doesn't exist — protecting both your content and your privacy.
Whether you're managing legal compliance, protecting personal privacy, or tailoring your audience to specific markets, geo blocking gives you fine-grained control without any code or third-party tools.
Trusted Users Always Get Through
Blocking a region doesn't have to mean blocking everyone from it. You can create a per-user exclusion list, granting specific followers or subscribers access to your page even if they're located in a blocked country or state.
What You Can Block
Countries
Restrict access from any country in the world. Your page and boxes become invisible to visitors from those regions.
US States
Go granular with state-level blocking across the United States — critical for compliance with evolving state legislation.
Australian States
Same granular control for Australian states and territories, keeping you compliant across all relevant jurisdictions.
How It Works
-
Open your Settings
Navigate to your BentBox profile settings and find the Geo Blocking section.
-
Select regions to block
Choose from a list of countries, US states, or Australian states. Select as many as you need.
-
Blocked visitors see nothing
Anyone from a blocked region trying to visit your page is shown a "user doesn't exist" message — no trace of your account.
-
Whitelist trusted users (optional)
Add specific users to your exclusion list so they can still access your page regardless of their location.
Compliance & Regulatory Use
Geo blocking is commonly used by creators to comply with jurisdiction-specific age verification and content regulations. As new state and national laws take effect, BentBox continuously updates the available region list so you're always covered. Pair geo blocking with BentBox's existing age verification and 2257 compliance tools for a complete regulatory strategy.
