IP ALLOW AND DENY LISTS
IP Whitelist and Blacklist for Every Site
An IP blacklist keeps listed addresses off your site, and a whitelist makes sure trusted ones are never blocked. In xCloud you manage both per site, add server firewall rules for ports and IP ranges, and ban or unban addresses with Fail2Ban. All of it is free on every plan, from the dashboard.
- Per-site whitelist and blacklist
- Server firewall rules by port and IP
- Ban and unban with Fail2Ban
WHY IT MATTERS
When Do You Need an IP Whitelist or Blacklist?
One address keeps attacking
Blacklist it for that site, without touching the others.
Your office gets blocked
Whitelist trusted addresses so security rules never lock your team out.
Only some IPs should reach a port
Open a database or admin port to one IP instead of the whole internet.
