# Ignoring Firewall Rules

{% embed url="<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flT4N2CUwck>" %}

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.
