Rule Configurations

​

Country Access Policy

• Controls access based on the user’s country.
  
• You can either allow access by default for all countries or deny access by default and then specify exceptions.
• If you deny access by default, you can choose specific countries to allow access.
  

​

IP Access Policy

• Allows you to control access based on IP addresses.
  
• Allow access by default means anyone can access the content, and you only specify exceptions.
• Deny access by default means access is blocked unless you specify which IP addresses or ranges are allowed.
• You can use CIDR notation to define allowed or denied IP ranges.
  

​

Referrer Access Policy

• Controls access based on the referring domain.
  
• You can either allow access by default for all referrers or deny access by default and only allow specific referrers.
• To specify which referrers are allowed, you can add the domains under the Specify Domain(s) option.

​

Token Authentication

• Secures access by requiring a secret token for every request made to your CDN.
  
• Enable Token Authentication by turning the toggle on and setting a Secret Token.
• This token will need to be included in the URL or request header when accessing content, ensuring that only authorized users with the token can access your resources.
• You can generate a new token using the Generate Token button, and then copy it for use in your requests.
