# How to white-list an IP in ConfigServer security & Firewall (CSF)

ConfigServer Security & Firewall (CSF) allows you to manage your iptables configuration. CSF is a simplified interface that makes it easy to add or remove IP addresses from your firewall. **This process can whitelist an ip, removing any blocks if there is one.**

1. To Whitelist an IP address you must log into your WHM interface with your credentials.
2. Go to “**ConfigServer Security & Firewall**". (you can search for it in the searchbox)

> [!NOTE]
> *Most of the options are explained, but to configure a firewall, there are three options that are most important : Quick Allow, Quick Deny, and Quick Ignore. Simply enter the IP address into the coloured box, and left click the ˜Quick Allow", ˜Quick Deny" or ˜Quick Ignore".*

**Once this is completed this will allow this IP address to both access your server and websites located on the server.**
