NetBird helps administrators control who can access their network by creating policies. These policies decide which groups of peers are allowed to interact with one another, based on criteria like port, protocol and traffic direction.
Administrators can further refine access control through posture checks to enhance their existing policies. For example, they can verify whether a peer is using a specified version of NetBird, has the necessary version of the operating system, and is located within a permitted geolocation before allowing it to join the network.

By adding these posture checks to the policies, NetBird makes sure only devices that meet certain security requirements can access the network. This helps keep the network safe and follows the Zero Trust approach, which means not trusting any device by default.

### Geolocation (Country & Region) Check
The geolocation check examines the connecting device's geographical location based on its IP address.

This check allows to either block or allow access from certain geographic regions,

When you allow access from specific locations in the network settings, all other locations are automatically blocked. Conversely, blocking certain locations means only those are blocked, while access remains open for all other locations.

### Peer Network Range Check
The peer network range check verifies if a device is in certain IP ranges before it can connect. This check is useful when wanting to control access based on the network location of a peer. For example, disabling a connection to a routing peer when the peer is connecting from the office network range.
