IP whitelisting lets you restrict access to your proxy connections to only approved IP addresses. This significantly enhances security by preventing unauthorized usage.
What is IP Whitelisting?
IP whitelisting is a security measure that allows only pre-approved IP addresses to connect to your proxy. Any connection attempt from a non-whitelisted IP will be rejected.

- Click My Proxies from the left sidebar
- Click the IPv4 List button on your proxy
- A popup will appear — choose whether to apply the list to SOCKS5 or HTTP
- Add your IP addresses separated by commas, e.g.:
178.152.185.12, 145.196.157.10
