What is IP allowlisting (whitelisting)?

IP allowlisting, or IP whitelisting, permits access only to trusted IPs. What does it mean to whitelist? Whitelisting blocks unauthorized access and safeguards sensitive data.
  • Reduces security risks by allowing only approved IPs.
  • Ensures better control over network access.

How Does IP Whitelisting Work?

Eensuring secure and reliable connections

IP whitelisting restricts access by checking incoming traffic against a web whitelist of pre-approved IPs. If the IP matches, access is granted; otherwise, it’s denied. Administrators often use whitelisting IP ranges or static IP for whitelist setups to ensure secure and simplified management.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about the ZTNA.

What Does It Mean to Be Whitelisted?

Being whitelisted implies having privileged access to a network or service. For instance, a whitelist ip address for a proxy server ensures uninterrupted access for legitimate users while denying all others.

How to Check if an IP Address is Whitelisted?

To verify if an IP address is on the ip whitelist, you can:

  • Use administrative tools on your firewall or proxy server.
  • Run network tests to confirm access permissions.
  • Consult application logs for whitelisted entries.

Is IP Whitelisting Secure Enough?

While effective, whitelisting in cyber security has limitations, such as vulnerability to IP spoofing. Alternatives like vpn solutions or add ip range in zero trust environments may provide more comprehensive protection.
