To find out the IP's that need to be whitelisted, please contact the external service provider, or [check your access logs](../../troubleshooting/performance/general-troubleshooting.md) to see what IP's are accessing the website.

### Whitelist a User Agent

To whitelist a specific user agent you can add it to the User Agent whitelist map in the whitelist file. We suggest whitelisting a specific term, such as the bot name, or the domainname used in the the user agent, using a regex pattern.

### Whitelist an URL

To whitelist a specific URL you can add it to the url whitelist map in the whitelist file. Please note that the whitelist is based on the entire URL, including any arguments. As such, we advise using a regex pattern when whitelisting.

- We use a geo directive to define `$ip_whitelist`, which checks if the visitor's IP address is whitelisted. If so, we set it to 1, otherwise to 0.
- We combine `$uri_whitelist` and `$ip_whitelist` in a new map that defines `$development_exceptions`. Depending on whether the IP address or URI path is whitelisted, access without basic auth is allowed ("off").

### Whitelisting Based on IP and User Agent

To create a whitelist based on two components: URL and User Agent.
In the **nginx** file named **whitelist-development-exception.conf**, you should use the following configuration:

```nginx
geo $ip_whitelist {
default "Development restricted area";
# 1.2.3.4 1; # IP address whitelist
}

map $http_user_agent $development_exceptions {
default $ip_whitelist;
~*(Klaviyo) "off";
}
```

## Troubleshooting

- Google Pagespeed analysis uses the Google bot user agent and can therefore not be used on development nodes.
