# GeoRestrictionProperty

A complex type that controls the countries in which your content is distributed.

CloudFront determines the location of your users using `MaxMind` GeoIP databases. To disable geo restriction, remove the [Restrictions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-properties-cloudfront-distribution-distributionconfig.html#cfn-cloudfront-distribution-distributionconfig-restrictions) property from your stack template.

## Example

```ts
// The code below shows an example of how to instantiate this type.
// The values are placeholders you should change.
import { aws_cloudfront as cloudfront } from 'aws-cdk-lib';
const geoRestrictionProperty: cloudfront.CfnDistribution.GeoRestrictionProperty = {
  restrictionType: 'restrictionType',

  // the properties below are optional
  locations: ['locations'],
};
```

## Properties

- `locations`: string[] — A complex type that contains a `Location` element for each country in which you want CloudFront either to distribute your content ( `whitelist` ) or not distribute your content ( `blacklist` ).

  The `Location` element is a two-letter, uppercase country code for a country that you want to include in your `blacklist` or `whitelist` . Include one `Location` element for each country.

  CloudFront and `MaxMind` both use `ISO 3166` country codes. For the current list of countries and the corresponding codes, see `ISO 3166-1-alpha-2` code on the *International Organization for Standardization* website. You can also refer to the country list on the CloudFront console, which includes both country names and codes.

- `restrictionType`: string (required) — The method that you want to use to restrict distribution of your content by country:.

  - `none` : No geo restriction is enabled, meaning access to content is not restricted by client geo location.
  - `blacklist` : The `Location` elements specify the countries in which you don't want CloudFront to distribute your content.
  - `whitelist` : The `Location` elements specify the countries in which you want CloudFront to distribute your content.
