# Whitelist - Redirect
There are two types of Whitelist options available in the app.
1. [Rule-Based Whitelisting](#rule-based-whitelisting): configured in specific rules.
2. [Global Whitelisting](/geoip-country-redirect/general-settings/global-whitelist-settings.md): works for all rules at once with an option (**Consider Global Settings**) active in each rule, including rule-based configurations.
***
## Rule-based Whitelisting
Rule-based whitelisting prevents redirection for certain users for a particular rule.
It has two options to prevent redirection:
1. [Whitelist IP Setting](#b.-whitelist-ip-setting)
2. [Whitelist URL Setting](#c.-whitelist-url-setting)
### A. Include Global Whitelisting
The **Include Global Whitelist setting** applies the Global Whitelist configuration to the selected rule.
To use [**Global Whitelisting**](/geoip-country-redirect/general-settings/global-whitelist-settings.md) configuration **(added IP address or URL)** with rule-based configurations, you can enable **the Include Global Whitelisting option** in a required rule**.**
***
### **B. Whitelist IP Setting**
This option allows you to disable redirection for specific IP addresses completely.
**Steps to configure:**
1. Go to **Country Redirect** → 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**.
#### *Country Redirect - Whitelist section*
{% hint style="info" %}
**Note the following points:**
The app only supports Public IPv4 addresses.
The IP address should be added in a comma-separated format with no spaces.
{% endhint %}
***
### **C. Whitelist URL Setting**
This option prevents redirection for specific 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 redirection will be disabled from this specific page.
2. **URL Path:**
* Enter only the path/text of the URL (not the full domain required).
* Example: products
* Used in Type: **Contains**
* Result: The redirection 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 whitelist redirection from specific URLs in your primary store.
For example, to prevent redirection from the '**customization-gallery**' 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 redirection using a keyword in the URL. If the URL contains that specific keyword, the redirection will not be triggered on that URL.
For example, you want to **exclude URLs from redirection 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 redirection.
