Don’t want to receive LinkedIn connections request from outside of the country

linkedin

I don't like such kind of social media webpages which are open for everyone to view your information. I am here on "LinkedIn" just to have connections with different employers. Since I receive many connection requests from my friends or people outside my country, which I do not like. I want a method which allow me not to receive connection requests from people outside my country. Is it possible?
Can I also block people from outside my country to show my profile?

Best Answer

See this to Controlling Who Can Send You Invitations.

Select one of the following preferences:

  1. Anyone on LinkedIn (Recommended)
  2. Only people who know your email address or appear in your "Imported Contacts" list
  3. Only people who appear in your "Imported Contacts" list

Note: If you select one of the last two options above, go to the Add Connections page to make sure your Imported Contacts list is up to date.

In your case select the third option and up to date your imported list with your country people.
