# Allow Site Shield IP addresses through your firewall

Edit your firewall settings to allow the listed addresses to access your origin and confirm the changes in Site Shield.

1. Go to ☰ > **WEB & DATA CENTER SECURITY** > **Security Configurations** > **Site Shield**.

2. Click the name of your map.

3. On the map status page, click one of the links:
   * **Copy addresses below** to copy the addresses to the clipboard.
   * **Export them as CSV** to get a CSV file with the complete list.

4. Go to your firewall and edit the settings to allow the addresses to access your origin server.

5. Return to the map status page and type *YES* in the field.

6. Click **Yes, I updated my firewall**.
   When you update your firewall and acknowledge this change, Site Shield starts protecting your origin from non-Akamai systems.
