By default, a user's IP address belongs to the acceleration area configured for the streaming domain name and can be used to pull streams from Live. To specify the areas that can be accessed by a streaming domain name, perform the operations described in this section.

Notes

Huawei Cloud periodically updates IPv4 databases in all areas around the world. The geo-blocking whitelist configured here may not be able to identify all IP addresses. Terminals cannot identify a small number of IP addresses that are not in the databases. If high accuracy is required, exercise caution when using this function.
If IP addresses in the databases cannot be accurately identified, the request may be scheduled to an unexpected billing area and billed in that area. For details, see Product Pricing Details.

Prerequisites

A geo-blocking whitelist can only be configured for streaming domain names.
Only one geo-blocking whitelist can be configured for each streaming domain name. The whitelist can be modified or deleted.

Procedure

Log in to the Live console.
In the navigation pane, choose Domains.
In the domain name list, find the streaming domain name whose geo-blocking needs to be specified and click Manage in the Operation column. The Basic Info page is displayed.
In the navigation pane, choose Templates > Geo-blocking.
Click Add. In the Geo-blocking dialog box that is displayed, select the areas where the streaming domain name can work and add them to Selected Areas.
Click OK. The geo-blocking whitelist has been added.

After the whitelist is added, you can perform the following operations:
- Click Edit to change the areas that can be accessed by the streaming domain name.
- Click Delete to delete the whitelist.
