# Domain Filtering (previously Allowances)

In this section, we’ll walk you through the steps for managing domains accessible via our proxies. We recommend reviewing our 'Domain Filtering (previously ‘Allowances’) documentation beforehand to familiarize yourself with the concept.

Navigate to the ‘Residential’ section on the sidebar menu (<mark style="color:orange;">1</mark>), which brings you to the main dashboard for Residential proxies.

From there, find the 'Domain Filtering' (previously ‘Allowances’) (<mark style="color:orange;">2</mark>) button. Clicking this button enables you to manage and edit domain blocklist and whitelist settings, where you can specify which domains will be accessible via our proxies.

The ‘Restrictions’ (<mark style="color:orange;">1</mark>) section enables you to create a list of domains our proxies will not access. All you need is to provide a URL in the designated field (<mark style="color:orange;">2</mark>) and click the ‘Add’ (<mark style="color:orange;">3</mark>) button. You can modify the list of blocked domains by clicking the ‘Remove’ (<mark style="color:orange;">4</mark>) button next to the entry you want to remove.

Alternatively, you can use the ‘Permissions’ (<mark style="color:orange;">1</mark>) section to create a list of domains that our proxies can access. All you need is to provide a URL in the designated field (<mark style="color:orange;">2</mark>) and click the ‘Add’ button (<mark style="color:orange;">3</mark>). You can modify the list of whitelisted domains by clicking the ‘Remove’ (<mark style="color:orange;">4</mark>) button next to the entry you want to remove.

**Note**: As long as you have a single domain in your allowed sites list, all other domains will not be accessible via our proxies.
