Fraud Protection: IP Safelist

Prefinery employs a fraud protection system to ensure that users cannot game your campaigns especially involving referrals and rewards. This can be configured differently from one project to another. 

The IP Safelist feature in particular can help you allow specific IP addresses to create signups, shares and referrals in a controlled manner (limited or unlimited). This can be useful when you need to test your own referral setup or in scenarios where you want to allow more than one individual from the same IP address (household, workplace, coffeeshop, etc.) for those activities. 

To set this up: 

1

Know what your IP address is by simply going to google.com and search for "my ip address". Google will immediately display it to you in the topmost result of your query. Copy this string of numbers. 

If for some reason googling it is not working for you, try visiting https://whatismyipaddress.com/ - the website will immediately display your IP address on load up. 

2

From your project dashboard, go to  Settings > Fraud Protection

3

In the Fraud Protection page, under IP Safelist paste in your IP address. You can add more than one by separating them using commas in cases where you tend to move around thus using multiple IP addresses or if there's more than one person in your team managing this particular project. When done, scroll to the bottom and click the Save button. 

You can either enter a list of specific IP addresses (e.g. 192.168.0.1), use regex (regular expressions) to cover IP ranges (e.g. 192.168.0.[0-9] which would cover 192.168.0.0, 192.168.0.1, 192.168.0.2, and so on up until 192.168.0.9), or a combination of both.
