1. What are the differences between the blacklist and the whitelist?

Please check the comparison table below:

| Category | Blacklist | Whitelist |
| ---- |
| Function | All items in the blacklist **will be blocked** from your website | All items in the whitelist will **always have access** to your website |
| Hierachy | **Adhere** to items in the whitelist | **Override** items in the blacklist |
| Priority | Low | High |
| Exception | Items will **not be blocked** if they're also **on the whitelist** | Items will still **be blocked** if they use **VPN/Proxy connections** |
A quick way to understand how they work together is: If you add Australia into the blacklist and an Australian IP address to the whitelist, only that Australian IP address will have access to your website (others will be blocked).

2. What happens when you block and redirect the same IP address or a country?

When you both block and redirect the same IP address or a country, whichever rule you add first will be applied to your store.

For example: If you block country A first, then redirect users of country A to Google, the blocking rule will be applied to your store.
