# 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.

This sections allows you to create, delete and modify network ACL lists.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.transparentedge.eu/config/network-access-control-list.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
