Case Study: CineSend achieves fast, reliable geoblocking with IPinfo

How CineSend Powers Secure Video Streaming Using IPinfo

CineSend, a software company providing secure video solutions for the media and entertainment industry, faced the challenge of implementing reliable geoblocking for its streaming service. This feature was essential for filmmakers and rights-holders to enforce location-based licensing restrictions, especially as the industry pivoted to virtual events during the COVID-19 pandemic. To add this critical security measure, CineSend needed a reputable IP address database provider and turned to vendor IPinfo for its IP Geolocation API.

The solution implemented by IPinfo involved real-time queries of user IP addresses to grant or deny access to content based on geographic location. This allowed CineSend to quickly satisfy its clients' needs, support new virtual events, and ensure content security. The results were significant, as IPinfo’s technology helped CineSend become the de facto provider in the virtual event space, unlocking new revenue streams for both the company and its customers.
