# IP Whitelisting

For scenarios where security is a priority, you may need to restrict platform access to specific IP addresses instead of leaving it public.

To meet this requirement, Xenioo now supports account-level IP whitelisting. This gives the account owner full control over which IP addresses can access the platform.

### How to enable or disable IP access

1. Go to your **Account Profile**.
2. Select the **Security** tab from the left sidebar menu.
3. Under **IP Whitelisting**, you can manage your IP access.

### Supported IP Whitelist Formats

Supported IP entries can be a single, specific address or a wildcard pattern, enabling you to whitelist either individual IPs or entire groups.

You can whitelist IP addresses using the following specific patterns:

* **Full IP Address:** `a.b.c.d` (where a, b, c, d are numbers)
  * *Example: `192.168.1.1`*
* **Single-Level Wildcard:**
  * `a.b.c.*` - Wildcard for the final octet
  * `a.b.*` - Wildcard for the third and fourth octets
  * `a.b.*.*` - Wildcard for the third and fourth octets (explicit format)
  * `a.*.*.*` - Wildcard for the second, third, and fourth octets
* **Partial Wildcard (Prefix Match):**
  * `a.b.c*` - Matches the fourth octet starting with the number `c`
  * `a.b.c.n*` - Matches the fourth octet starting with the number sequence `n`

#### Notes:

* The letters `a`, `b`, `c`, `d`, and `n` represent valid numbers for IP octets (0-255).
* The asterisk `*` is a wildcard character that matches any digit or sequence of digits at that position.
