# Whitelisting IPs IP whitelisting allows you to access our Residential Proxy pool by simply connecting via whitelisted IPs. {% hint style="info" %} You can only add IPs that are in IPv4 format (xx.xx.xx.xx). Make sure that the IP you are adding is yours and you are **not using a Proxy or VPN service** at the time. {% endhint %} #### Create an IP whitelist To whitelist IP addresses log in to the [**dashboard**](https://dashboard.oxylabs.io/), on the left hand side select **Residential Proxies** → **Whitelist**, click on **Edit whitelist**.
