restrict access to forms by country

Forms
Updated August 12, 2024
asked on August 12, 2024

Is there any way to restrict public forms by Country? I have a public form that just went out that is meant for locals, but we got some international submissions. 

I figure I can do this with field rules, but thought I'd check to see if there is a better way.

You could blacklist IP address ranges at the IIS level for Forms to accomplish this. Here's a guide specifically for Russian IP addresses, but, as long as you know the ranges, you can do this for any range out there. How to Block Russian (or Any Other IP Addresses) From Accessing Your Website Using IIS?

An alternative method would be to whitelist your local country's IP address range(s) (IP Address Ranges by Country (ip2location.com)) and blacklist all of the rest (Configuring IP Security in IIS ).(rackspace.com)

Alternatively, put either a network firewall or web application firewall (WAF) that has native geo-blocking functionality in front of Forms.
