# Allowed IPs

Here you see a list of all allowed IP addresses.\
These addresses are automatically considered, if Authentication is turned ON for a domain.

SquadDNS will first check if the IP address is okay, if not it will use Basic Authentication as fallback.

## Create IP address

You can simply create a new entry by specifing your IP address along with an optional comment.\
The comment can be used to describe what the IP is about, or who the IP address is meant for.

After a short restart of the system, your new IP address is ready for your authentication options.

## Delete IP address

To delete an existing address, simply click on the button and confirm it.
