In Traffic Control, you can whitelist specific objects and apply whitelists to segments of your traffic, so that traffic from whitelisted dimensions always bypasses TrafficGuard's fraud mitigation. However, whitelisting should be used with caution.

A common use case is to whitelist third-party monitoring services or testing devices, excluding those tools from TrafficGuard's protection. You can simply set up, edit or delete a whitelist on the portal by following the instructions below.

Before you start, enable Traffic Control in your portal.


Steps to enable whitelisting
