Articles on: [Shopify Platform] Blockify - Fraud IP Blocker

How can I access my store if I have blocked my own country?

Overview

Blocking your own country or IP by mistake locks you out of your storefront. Two ways back in: the Admin's access URL in Settings > General settings, which is never blocked, and a whitelist rule for your own IP address.

How to use the Admin's access URL?

Step 1: In Blockify, go to Settings > General settings and find Admin's access URL.

Step 2: Click the eye icon to show the URL, copy it and open it in your browser. Visits through this link are never blocked.

Important: Please don't disclose the link. Anyone who has it gets past every Blockify rule. If you think it has been shared, click Refresh to create a new link; the old one stops working.

Visits through the Admin's access URL are not recorded in the visitor log.

How to whitelist your own IP address?

Step 1: Find your public IP address (search "what is my IP").

Step 2: Go to Block & Re-director > Whitelist and click Whitelist IP address.

Step 3: Set Status to Enable, keep Select condition on IP address, set Select type to Manual and enter your IP. Tick Whitelist if these accesses use VPN. if you connect through a VPN.

Step 4: Click Save. Whitelist rules are checked before block rules, so you are let in even though your country is blocked. See Create a whitelist rule.

Who can use this feature?

Available on all plans. A whitelist rule counts towards the Free plan limit of 2 active rules.

FAQs

My home IP changes often. Will the whitelist still work?

Only while the IP you entered is in use. If it changes, update the rule, whitelist the range with IP start with, or use the Admin's access URL.

Does the Admin's access URL show my visits in the visitor log?

No. Visits through the access URL are not recorded, on purpose.
