In various network operations, different websites and services may restrict the source IP address. In order to access normally, we need to add our own IP address to the white list. This article will give you a detailed introduction to several methods of adding IP whitelist and the comparison of their advantages and disadvantages, and share possible problems and solutions.
Method 1: Manually add IP whitelist
This is the easiest way, just log in to the console or management background of the website, find the option of IP whitelist setting, and add your IP address manually. The advantage of this method is that it is easy to operate and is suitable for situations where there is no need to add a large number of IPs. However, when your IP address changes, you need to manually update the whitelist again.
Method 2: Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS)
Using DDNS services, such as No-IP, DynDNS, etc., can provide a fixed domain name for your dynamic IP address. First, you need to register and set up your domain name and account on the provider's website. Then, through some tools or router settings, associate your IP address with the DDNS service. The advantage is that even if your IP address changes, your domain name still points to the correct IP address.
Method 3: Proxy
By using a proxy, you hide your real IP address and use your provider's IP address for access. A proxy routes your web traffic to its server, and then accesses the target website or service through the server, making it impossible for the target site to obtain your real IP address. The advantage of this method is that it is very effective for websites that need to change IP addresses frequently or face strict restrictions, but may need to pay to use proxy services.
Comparison of pros and cons between different methods
Adding a whitelist manually is straightforward, but requires patience and frequent updates. DDNS is suitable for users with dynamic IP addresses and can provide stable access solutions. A proxy can effectively hide your real IP address while providing a high degree of anonymity, but there may be some impact on network speed.
