I’m trying to make a GET request at this URL : [http://192.168.0.101:8087/v2/servers/_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/applications](http://192.168.0.101:8087/v2/servers/_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/applications) to list the existing applications. The server gives the following ERROR message : “ERROR server comment - REST API: Server request (GET): IP WhiteList blocked (192.168.0.101)-403: [http://192.168.0.101:8087/v2/servers/](http://192.168.0.101:8087/v2/servers/)_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/applications”. My Server.xml file content is: "\ Wowza Streaming Engine Wowza Streaming Engine is robust, customizable, and scalable server software that powers reliable streaming of high-quality video and audio to any device, anywhere. true \* 8087 none true false JKS TLS SunX509 192.168.0.101 false true 8089 none restUserHTTPHeaders Access-Control-Allow-Origin:\*|Access-Control-Allow-Methods:OPTIONS,GET,PUT,DELETE,POST|Access-Control-Allow-Headers:Content-Type ${com.wowza.wms.TuningAuto} \* 8083 Server,VHost,VHostItem,Application,ApplicationInstance,MediaCaster,Module,IdleWorker true false localhost localhost 8084 8085 true ${com.wowza.wms.ConfigHome}/conf/jmxremote.password ${com.wowza.wms.ConfigHome}/conf/jmxremote.access false Shockwave Flash|CFNetwork|MacNetwork/1.0 (Macintosh) mp4 com.wowza.wms.mediacache.impl.MediaCacheServerListener ${com.wowza.wms.TuningAuto} ${com.wowza.wms.TuningAuto} 6970 false " I’ve also tried \* and 127.0.0.1,192.168.0.101 Any advice is welcome. ---

Hi, You should be able to connect to the REST interface if you’ve set IPWhitelist to \*. It looks like something else is going on. Please consider opening a [support ticket](https://www.wowza.com/support/open-ticket) and include your /conf, /logs and /manager dirs and we can take a closer look. Paul ---

Hello, Can you check that you are using your localhost in the index.html file instead of using your IP address? Regards Jason Hatchett ---

> Hello, > > Can you check that you are using your localhost in the index.html file instead of using your IP address? > > Regards > > Jason Hatchett Hello, I am having this same issue. When you say “check that you are using your localhost in the index.html file instead of using your IP address” which index.html are you referring to? I have been all through the documentation and followed it to the T and I get the error my IP as been blocked even I do \*. I am trying to make a request from my local machine but, the server running Wowza is on a host VPS cloud service. Eventually the calls will be made from a script running on my web server that is hosted by a different company. For testing though I am unable to call the API in my browser without getting the same error about my IP being blocked. -Thanks ---

> [@tauseed\_zaman](#): > > rs from my control panel that says your IP has been blocked. what should i do now Same issue here. I am running Wowza Streaming Engine in a Docker container. I can hit the Manger web pages but get a “Your IP address has been blocked” message when trying to use the Rest API. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/wowza1/original/2X/0/06a371f980aa162415de883214727f19cfba00a9.png)
