How does it work?

Available if you use ​Akamai​'s EdgeScape service, this criterion lets you use ​Akamai​'s Content Targeting (EdgeScape) data to match based on the user location, country, or continent. Client browser's approximate geographic location is determined by looking up the IP address in a database.

Not all the EdgeScape data are available for matches. For information on EdgeScape, see the EdgeScape User Guide, available from a link on the Documentation pages.

Operators

Fields

In the Content Target field, select the geographic scope. Narrow down the criterion by selecting continents, countries or region codes from the drop-down list.

Additional Options

• IPs to consider: Specify which IP addresses determine the user's location. You can select the following options:

• Connecting IP only: Allows the connecting client's IP address.

• X-Forwarded-For IPs only: Allows IP addresses specified in the X-Forwarded-For header, succeeding if any of them match.

• Both connecting IP and X-Forwarded-For IPs: Allows for both.

• X-Forwarded-For IPs to consider: If you allow X-Forwarded-For IPs, and there are multiple IPs, select whether to consider all IPs or only the first. If a request is made through multiple proxies, the first IP should be the original client.
