# Network Access Control List

Network ACLs enable fine-grained control per client IP address. Leveraging Network ACLs you can create lists to block offending IP addresses or allow certain IP addresses in a protected domain or URL.

### Use case <a href="#use-cases" id="use-cases"></a>

* Offices that restrict access to administrative domains
* Blocking bad actors directly on the edge
* Preventing web scrapping from certain IP addresses
* Bypass Transparent Edge WAF or Bot Mitigation for secure addresses

### Create and manage Network ACLs <a href="#create-and-manage-network-acls" id="create-and-manage-network-acls"></a>

Login into the [dashboard](https://dashboard.transparentcdn.com/) and look for the "**IP Lists**" button section in the left side panel.
