# Global Whitelist Settings

Whitelisting allows visitors to access your online store or specific URLs without being affected by redirection or block rules. Similar to rule-based whitelists and blocker whitelists, the app provides two types of whitelisting options:

1. [**Whitelist IPs Settings**](#id-1.-whitelist-ips)
2. [**Whitelist URLs Settings**](#id-2.-whitelist-urls)

Below is a detailed explanation of both features:

### **1. Whitelist IPs** 

**Navigation:**\
**Settings → Global Whitelist Settings → Whitelist IPs**

Enter multiple IPv4 addresses separated by commas, then click **Save**.

Once added, the app will prevent redirection rules for the specified IP addresses, allowing those users to access the store normally without being redirected.

**Format:**\
Enter comma-separated IP addresses\
**Example:** `122.22.33.44,49.36.236.204`

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note the following points:**&#x20;

The app only supports Public IPv4 addresses.&#x20;

The IP address should be added in a comma-separated format with no spaces.
{% endhint %}

### **2. Whitelist URLs**&#x20;

**Navigation:**\
**Settings → Global Whitelist Settings → Whitelist URLs → Add New Whitelist Rule**

You can configure whitelist rules in two ways:

* **Exact**
* **Contains**

{% hint style="info" %} <mark style="color:$primary;">**URL Format:**</mark>&#x20;

1. **Full URL:**&#x20;

* Enter the complete URL (domain required).
* Example: \*\*<https://spice-country-redirect-demo.myshopify.com/pages/contact**&#x20>;
* Used in Type: **Exact**
* Result: The redirection will be disabled from this specific page.

2. **URL Path:**

* Enter only the path of the URL (not the full domain required).
* Example: /products&#x20;
* Used in Type: **Contains**
* Result: The redirection will be disabled from all the pages which contain the path (/products).
  {% endhint %}

### **1. Exact**

With the Exact type, you can disable the redirection from specific URLs in your primary store.

For example, to prevent redirection from the '**Contact-us**' page. In that case, you need to add the full URL (**<https://spice-country-redirect-demo.myshopify.com/pages/contact>**) with the **Exact** type in the app.&#x20;

### **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.
