# Ignoring Firewall Rules {% embed url="" %} In certain scenarios, it may be necessary to activate the Firewall to block access outside the internal network, but allow specific users or groups to access from any IP address. \ You can enable the "ignore firewall rules" option on the user or group registration screen. This will allow the user to access from any IP. \ If this option is disabled for the user but enabled for a group they belong to, they will still be able to access the portal normally.
