Allow-list and Block-list
Force-allow or force-block specific IPs or ranges.
Sometimes you want to override Predax for specific addresses. You will find both lists under Settings → Protection → Country & Region Blocking. Enter one IP or CIDR range per line.
IP Allow-list
IPs or ranges here are never blocked, no matter their risk score. This is checked first and short-circuits every other rule.
Add your own IP here to make sure you can never accidentally lock yourself out.
Examples:
203.0.113.5— a single IP203.0.113.0/24— a whole range
IP Block-list
IPs or ranges here are always blocked. The block-list is checked before the Predax API, so it blocks instantly and does not use any of your lookup quota — handy for an address you already know is bad.
