Releasing a blocked IP address

Releasing a blocked IP address allows readers to resume posting comments. Blocked IP addresses are released by deleting them from the Firewall's IP Address list. Multiple blocked IP addresses may be released at one time.

To release a blocked IP address:

1.

Click the Settings & Security tab.

2.

Click Firewall in the Options list.

3.

Click the Delete checkbox for the required IP address.

4.

Click the Delete Selected button immediately below the required IP address.

After releasing blocked IP addresses, the system prompts for confirmation. Once the deletion has been confirmed, the system removes the selected IP address(es) from the list of blocked IP addresses and those users will once again be able to post comments.
