Does cPHulk whitelisting deny customer access

If I enable cPHulk whitelisting and add my own IP's to it, will it deny my customer's access, which do not come from my IP's? I have several customers that log on to cPanel independently. So does whitelisting effect to these connections. If not, to what exactly does whitelisting effect?

  As the message says on that page in WHM: Note: IP addresses on the whitelist can always log in to your server.
  IPs not on the whitelist can login normally, as long as they're doing it correctly. The documentation should be of some use:

  ok, so the whitelisting is just for the reason that whitelisted IP's do not get temporarily blacklisted? But it does not block any other IP's from login in as long as people from other IP's login in, does not violate cPHulk settings (for example try to log in with wrong password several times)?

  Correct. There is a list of "For Examples" at that link I mentioned above: cPHulk Brute Force Protection - Documentation - cPanel Documentation HTH!

  Ok, thanks! Also, would there be any mechanism to block all foreign IP's? Or other way around, allow only domestic IP's?

  Assuming you've got ConfigServer Firewall installed, yes. "Country Code blocking - Allows you to deny or allow access by ISO Country Code" Please start new threads with different questions. ;)
