Introduction

Unblocking IP addresses is necessary when previously blocked addresses need restored access due to changed circumstances, mistaken blocks, or resolved security concerns. Whether an IP was blocked in error or a legitimate user’s address was temporarily restricted, cPanel’s IP Blocker provides a simple method for removing IP restrictions and restoring access. This guide explains how to unblock IP addresses using the Security > IP Blocker section in cPanel, enabling you to manage access controls and restore connectivity for legitimate users or networks.

Prerequisites

• Access to your cPanel with user privileges.
• The IP address(es) you wish to unblock.

Step-by-step Guide

Step 1: Log in to cPanel

Access and log in to your cPanel account using your username and password.

Step 2: Access IP Blocker

Under the Security section, click IP Blocker. You will see a feature to add IP addresses and the list of currently-blocked IP addresses.

Step 3: Remove the Blocked IP

Scroll down to Currently-Blocked IP Addresses and locate the IP Address you with to unblock. Then, click Delete on the right side of the row. Click Remove IP when prompted to confirm the action.
