# Whitelist - Blocker
There are two types of Whitelist options available for the Blocker Rule in the app:
1. [**Rule-Based Whitelisting**](#rule-based-whitelisting)**:** Configured within specific rules.
2. [**Global Whitelisting**](/geoip-country-redirect/general-settings/global-whitelist-settings.md)**:** Applies to all rules at once if the *Consider Global* setting is enabled in the rules.
## Rule-based Whitelisting
Rule-based whitelisting prevents blocking for certain users within a specific rule.\
It offers **two options** to prevent blocking:
1. [**Whitelist IP Setting** ](#b.-whitelist-ip-setting)
2. [**Whitelist URL Setting**](#c.-whitelist-url-setting)
### A. Consider Global Whitelisting
The *Consider Global* setting allows you to apply the configuration from the Global Whitelist to a specific rule.
If you want to use the [**Global Whitelisting**](/geoip-country-redirect/general-settings/global-whitelist-settings.md) configuration (IP addresses or URLs) together with rule-based settings, simply enable the *Consider Global Whitelisting* option in that particular rule.

### **B. Whitelist IP Setting**
This option allows you to disable blocking completely for specific IP addresses.
**Steps to configure:**
1. Go to **Country Blocker** → click **Edit** on the rule you want to update.
2. Select the **Whitelist** option.
3. Enter the **IP address** (only Public IPv4 is supported).
4. Click **Save**.
{% hint style="info" %}
**Note the following points:**
* Only IPv4 addresses are supported.
* IP addresses must be entered in a **comma-separated format with no spaces**.
{% endhint %}
***
### **C. Whitelist URL Setting**
This option prevents blocking for added URLs on your store.
Steps to configure:
1. Click + Add new Whitelist Rule.
2. Enter the URL details.
3. Click Add to save.
{% hint style="info" %} **URL Format:**
1. **Full URL:**
* Enter the complete URL (domain required).
* Example: \*\*;
* Used in Type: **Exact**
* Result: The blocker will be disabled from this specific page.
2. **URL Path:**
* Enter only the path of the URL (not the full domain required).
* Example: /products
* Used in Type: **Contains**
* Result: The blocker will be disabled from all the pages which contain the path (/products).
{% endhint %}
### **Use cases of URL Whitelisting**
### **1. Exact**
With the Exact type, you can disable the blocker rule from specific URLs in your primary store.
For example, to prevent blocker rule from the '**Contact-us**' page. In that case, you need to add the full URL (****) with the **Exact** type in the app.
### **2. Contains**
With the Contains type, you can prevent blocking using a keyword in the URL. If the URL contains that specific keyword, the URL can be accessed.
For example, you want to **exclude URLs from blocking that contain** the keyword “products“. In this case, you need to add the “**/products**” keyword in the app and select the type “**Contains**“ to prevent blocking.
