Per-page feature: Geo-restrictions are configured per link page. Start with one simple rule, then expand.

OnLynk dashboard geo-restrictions screen with country and city rules
Geo-restrictions are configured per page in the dashboard (country/city rules with BLOCK, REDIRECT, or PAGE actions).

Geo-restrictions let you change what happens when someone opens your public link page based on their approximate location (country or city).

For each page you can define rules with one of three actions:

ActionBehavior
BlockVisitors won’t be able to open the page from that location
RedirectVisitors are sent to a different URL you choose
Show another pageVisitors are sent to a different OnLynk page
  • Your subscription must include geo-restrictions.
  • You need edit access to the page.
  1. Open onlynk.me and sign in (create an account first if needed). Subscribe to a plan that includes geo-restrictions if yours does not.
  2. Open the dashboard (account menu, top right).
  3. Go to Links (or equivalent) and select the link page you want to restrict.
  4. Open Geo-restrictions for that page (row, icon, or section label as shown in the UI).
  5. Add rules for each case you need:
    • Restriction type: country or city
    • Select country (and city when using city rules)
    • Choose BLOCK, REDIRECT, or PAGE
  6. Fill action-specific fields:
    • REDIRECT: destination URL
    • PAGE: choose the target page from the picker
  7. Save the rule set.
  8. Back on the link list, a green (or similar) indicator on the row often means geo rules are active—wording and styling may vary by release.
Geo-restrictions editor in dashboard with rule types and actions
Geo-restrictions editor: add country/city rules and choose BLOCK, REDIRECT, or PAGE per rule.
  • REDIRECT: If the visitor is classified as a bot, the external redirect is not executed; the normal page is shown instead (so crawlers and verification bots may see your landing page rather than being sent away).
  • BLOCK: Blocked responses (404) apply even when the visitor is a bot.
  • The dashboard focuses on country and city rule types.
