How to Whitelist or Blacklist any IP Address for Your Website?
Updated October 26, 2026 · 1 min read
An IP blacklist stops listed addresses from reaching your site, and a whitelist keeps trusted addresses from being blocked. In xCloud you manage both per site from Security → IP Management. For an overview of what it does and which plans include it, see the IP allow and deny lists feature page.
How to add an IP address to the blacklist or whitelist
Step 1: Log in to xCloud
Log in to the xCloud dashboard with your email address and password.
Step 2: Go to Security → IP Management
Click your site to open it. In the site’s left sidebar, open the Security menu and click IP Management. The page is titled IP Whitelist/Blacklist and lists the addresses already added. IP Management is not available for Node.js, n8n, Uptime Kuma and Lovable sites, or for AI agent sites such as OpenClaw. On a One-Click App template site that serves a website, it is under Tools → IP Management instead. Templates that only run a database or other background service do not have it.
Step 3: Add the IP address
Click Add IP Address. In the popup, enter the IP Address, choose Blacklist or Whitelist, and click Submit. The address appears in the IP Addresses list with its type.
What happens next
A blacklisted address can no longer open the site. A whitelisted address keeps uninterrupted access. To change an entry, use the Edit icon in the Actions column; to undo it, use the Remove icon.
