In the world of digital marketing, staying visible and maintaining high rankings on search engines is essential. SEO tools like Ubersuggest are key to tracking performance, understanding competition, and making data-driven decisions. However, if Ubersuggest’s IP addresses are not whitelisted on a website, the tool might be blocked, which can lead to inaccurate data and lower rankings. This article provides a step-by-step guide on how to whitelist Ubersuggest IPs to keep everything running smoothly.

Why Should Ubersuggest IPs Be Whitelisted?

SEO tools need to crawl and analyze websites to gather data. If their IPs are blocked by the site's firewall, the tools won’t function correctly. Whitelisting these IPs ensures they can access the site without any issues, allowing the tools to perform their tasks, such as crawling and indexing, without interference. Below are the steps for whitelisting Ubersuggest IPs on four common platforms: Apache, Nginx, Cloudflare, and WordPress.

Whitelist Ubersuggest IPs on Apache

For Apache servers, IP whitelisting is usually done by modifying the .htaccess file or the virtual host configuration.

Steps:

1. Open the .htaccess file located in the root directory of the website or the virtual host configuration file.

2. Add the following lines to allow Ubersuggest IPs:

Add IP Whitelist Directive: Use the Require IP directive to whitelist an IP address. For example:

Require ip 94.130.93.30

Require ip 168.119.141.170

Require ip 168.119.99.190

Require ip 168.119.99.191

Require ip 168.119.99.192

Require ip 168.119.99.193

Require ip 168.119.99.194

Require ip 134.209.42.109

Require ip 68.183.60.34

Require ip 68.183.60.80

Require ip 68.183.54.131

Require ip 68.183.49.222

Require ip 68.183.149.30

Require ip 68.183.157.22

Require ip 68.183.149.129

3. Save the file and restart Apache to apply the changes.

4. Test to ensure that Ubersuggest can access the site.

Whitelist Ubersuggest IPs on Nginx

For Nginx servers, IP whitelisting is handled through the server block configuration files.

Steps:

1. Open the Nginx configuration file for the website (usually located in /etc/nginx/sites-available/).

2. Add the following lines to allow Ubersuggest IPs:

allow 94.130.93.30;

allow 168.119.141.170;

allow 168.119.99.190;

allow 168.119.99.191;

allow 168.119.99.192;

allow 168.119.99.193;

allow 168.119.99.194;

allow 134.209.42.109;

allow 68.183.60.34;

allow 68.183.60.80;

allow 68.183.54.131;

allow 68.183.49.222;

allow 68.183.149.30;

allow 68.183.157.22;

allow 68.183.149.129;

deny all;

3. Save the file and reload Nginx with the following command:

sudo nginx -s reload

4. Test to make sure Ubersuggest can access the site.

Whitelist Ubersuggest IPs on Cloudflare

Cloudflare makes it easy to whitelist IPs through the "IP Access Rules" feature.

Steps:

1. Log into the Cloudflare dashboard.

2. Select the domain to manage.

3. Go to the Firewall tab and click on Tools.

4. Under IP Access Rules, add each Ubersuggest IP and set the action to "Allow."

5. Save the changes. The rules take effect immediately.

Whitelist Ubersuggest IPs on WordPress with Wordfence Security

For WordPress sites, IP whitelisting is typically done using a security plugin like Wordfence Security.

Steps:

1. Install and activate the Wordfence Security plugin.

2. From the WordPress dashboard, go to Wordfence > Firewall.

3. Look for the Advanced Firewall Options section and find the option to manage Allowed IP Addresses.

4. Enter each of the Ubersuggest IPs into the field provided.

5. Save the changes.

Wordfence will then allow these IPs to access the website without restrictions.

By following these steps, website owners can whitelist Ubersuggest’s IPs on their server or platform, ensuring the tool can function properly without being blocked. This process is easy to follow, whether using Apache, Nginx, Cloudflare, or WordPress. After making the changes, it’s important to test the site to ensure everything works as expected and the site remains secure.
