# Block specific IP address

If you want to block a specific visitor from accessing your store, you can add their IP address to the **Blacklist**. This ensures that anyone using that IP will be automatically denied access.

## When to Use IP Blacklisting
You may want to block an IP if:
* You’ve detected suspicious or fraudulent activity.
* A visitor is repeatedly attempting chargebacks, spam, or abuse.
* You want to prevent access from a known unwanted source.

## Steps to Add an IP to the Blacklist

1. **Log in to your Shopify Admin**
Go to your Shopify Admin dashboard.
2. **Open the App**
Navigate to **Apps → Securify – Block IP & Country**.
3. **Go to IP Management**
From the app’s top navigation bar, click **IP Management**.
4. **Find Enter IP to restrict form on the page**
5. **Add the IP Address**
    * Enter the IP address you want to block into the field provided.
    * Example: `192.168.1.1`.
6. **Save the IP**
Click **Restrict IP**. The IP will now appear in your **Blacklist table**.

## What Happens Next?
* Visitors using that IP will be denied access to your store immediately.
* Blocked attempts will still appear in **Visitor Intelligence** and **Blocked Visitors Logs**.
* You can remove or edit entries at any time in the **Blacklist IPs** section.

## Frequently Asked Questions
❓ **Can I add multiple IPs at once?**

❓ **What if I accidentally block the wrong IP?**
You can remove it anytime by going to **IP Management → Blacklist IPs** and deleting the entry.

| ✅ Tip: Keep your blacklist updated regularly by reviewing your Visitor Logs for suspicious activity.
