How do I geoblock listeners from specific countries for licensing reasons?

Occasionally, aggressive licensing agreements (e.g., SoundExchange) dictate that you are only allowed to broadcast your music catalogue within specific sovereign borders.

If your licensing agreement only permits you to broadcast in the USA and Canada, go to the Geoblocking tab.

Simply select "Allow Countries Only" mode. Scroll via the grid and quickly select the United States and Canada, then hit Save. The YonaCast engine integrates deeply with a live GeoIP database and will actively analyze the origin request of all connection handshakes, perfectly blocking off global traffic and shielding your station from liability.
