1. What are the differences between the blacklist and the whitelist?
Please check the comparison table below:
Text
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.
