Securing an Audio Stream through GeoIP Restriction

This guide explains how to maintain control over your radio streaming flows, for example, to decide if a listener can listen to your radio by activating geolocation protection.

Protecting an Audio Stream with GeoIP

The principle is simple, and it suffices to go to the restriction settings:

1. Log in to the Infomaniak Manager (manager.infomaniak.com) from a web browser like Brave or Edge
2. Click on the icon at the top right of the interface (or navigate through the left sidebar menu, for example)
3. Choose Radio Streaming (under Streaming)
4. Click on the name of the relevant object in the displayed table
5. Click on Restrictions in the left sidebar menu
6. Click on the action menu ⋮ on the right of the concerned stream in the displayed table
7. Click on Geolocation Restriction

Then configure the restrictions:

1. Choose whether the listed countries will be allowed or denied
2. Search for a country to add it to the list
3. Activate advanced configuration if necessary
4. Copy or paste a list of countries (useful for restricting other flows with a simple copy-paste)
5. Click to remove all listed countries on the page
6. Click on the blue button to save
   

Activating the restriction implies a change in the stream's configuration, which may take a few minutes to be replicated on the servers.
