So the wallet can ignore every IP except allowed ones? Is this easy to change?



Do the exchanges have consistent IP’s? In a sense, by adding only allowed IPs, the wallet does care who you make transactions with, right?

Signed,

Curious in Cali.

Here are the choices at blockchain.info

Enable API Access

Check the following option to allow access to this wallet through the wallet API.
<label class="control-label" style="font-weight: bold; display: block; margin-bottom: 5px; float: left; width: 140px; padding-top: 5px; text-align: right;">Enable / Disable:</label>

<input id="api-access-enabled" type="checkbox" style="margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: middle; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; width: auto; max-width: 270px; cursor: pointer;">

<label class="control-label" style="font-weight: bold; display: block; margin-bottom: 5px; float: left; width: 140px; padding-top: 5px; text-align: right;">Enable / Disable:</label>

<input id="block-tor-ips" type="checkbox" style="margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: middle; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; width: auto; max-width: 270px; cursor: pointer;">

IP Address Whitelist

The whitelist is a list of trusted IP Addresses that are allowed to access your wallet via the merchant APIs and bypass certain security restrictions. You will still be able to access your wallet from other ip addresses however the connecting device must be authorized by email.
Multiple ip addresses should be comma separated. Use % as a wildcard. For example 127.0.0.% to whitelist
<label class="control-label" style="font-weight: bold; display: block; margin-bottom: 5px; float: left; width: 140px; padding-top: 5px; text-align: right;">Whitelist:</label>

<input id="ip-lock" type="text" style="margin: 0px; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: middle; line-height: 18px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; width: 270px; max-width: 270px; height: 18px; padding: 4px; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0745098) 0px 1px 1px inset; transition: border 0.2s linear, box-shadow 0.2s linear;">Multiple IP addresses should be comma separated.

<label class="control-label" style="font-weight: bold; display: block; margin-bottom: 5px; float: left; width: 140px; padding-top: 5px; text-align: right;">Current IP:</label>

Restrict To Whitelisted IP Addresses Only

Enable this to restrict access to your wallet to only IP addresses listed in the whitelist. You will not be able to login or access any API's from any computers not on the specified network however the mobile apps will continue to function once paired.
<label class="control-label" style="font-weight: bold; display: block; margin-bottom: 5px; float: left; width: 140px; padding-top: 5px; text-align: right;">Enable / Disable:</label>


<input id="ip-lock-on" type="checkbox" style="margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: middle; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; width: auto; max-width: 270px; cursor: pointer;">
