Safe/Allow lists

This section allows you to configure your Server!’s Safe-List and Allow-List. It’s very important, for correct server operation, to understand exactly what these lists are, how they work, and how to correctly configure them.

• Safe-List: this is a list of IP addresses and networks (CIDR) that can never be blacklisted by Protector™ regardless of whether or not their activity is suspicious. Please bear in mind that if a client acts suspiciously Protector™ will still kick its session and disconnect it, but if that client IP address is Safe-Listed it will not be automatically added to the Block-List.
• Allow-List: if this list is empty, then no restrictions apply to the source of your client connections; but if there’s even just one IP address or network (CIDR) in this list, then those listed are the only IP addresses and/or networks that clients are allowed to connect to your Server! from. In other words, when not empty this list becomes restrictive and only allows clients to connect from Allow-Listed IP addresses.
