IPDomainrajoitukset

IPDomainrajoitukset refers to the practice of restricting access to a website or online service based on either the user's IP address or the domain name they are trying to access. This can be implemented by website administrators or network operators to control who can view or interact with specific content.

IP address-based restrictions involve blocking or allowing access from specific ranges of IP addresses. This is often used to prevent access from certain geographic locations, to block known malicious IP addresses, or to limit access to internal networks. For example, a company might restrict access to its internal HR portal to only IP addresses originating from within its corporate network. Similarly, a streaming service might block IP addresses from countries where it does not have broadcasting rights.

Domain name-based restrictions, on the other hand, control which domain names a user or network can access. This is commonly seen in enterprise environments where IT departments block access to specific websites or categories of websites (e.g., social media, adult content) to improve productivity or maintain network security. Parental control software also utilizes domain name blocking to prevent children from accessing inappropriate content. These restrictions can be managed through firewalls, proxy servers, or DNS filtering services. The effectiveness and implementation of these limitations vary depending on the technology used and the specific policies in place.
