Allowed IP List
With the Allowed IP List Policy, a list of IPs or IP ranges is defined so that only requests from IPs in this list are accepted.
While checking the IP in Apinizer, the Request Header value, if any, set in the X-Forwarded-For policy is checked first. If this policy does not exist, the Remote Address value of the client is checked.
While controlling the IP in Apinizer, the value at Network Level7 is checked. If it is desired to control the value at Network Level4, appropriate software or hardware should be used.
The picture below shows the policy settings:
The policy fields are shown in the table below.
Field | Description |

| Name | The name can be written to facilitate the use and management of the policy. You will need this name during the management and selection of policies. |
| Description | An optional description of the policy that may be useful for usage and management activities. |
| Use Client IP | If this option is selected, the Client IP is used. |
| Variable for Client IP | This field appears if Use Client IP is not active. Variable can be selected for client IP. |
| Allowed IP List | The characters ('*' and '-') can be used to specify an IP range. For example:
After adding the IP, the "enter" key should be pressed. |
| IP Groups | One or more IP Groups can be added to the policy. All IPs in the IP Group are added to the policy. (You can visit IP Groups page for more information about IP Groups.) |
| IP Geolocation | The system allows requests from specific countries or cities while blocking traffic from other regions. It enhances security by using geographic location data and permits traffic only from designated areas. |
