- Assigned IPs – On the pop-up window, click the plus button under assigned IPs to add a new line.
- IP Address – Begin typing in the new IP address into the text box. You can visit Here to obtain the necessary IP address to whitelist. You will want to use the IP address listed next to “<xff>” on the page.
