These blocked IP addresses will not be able to start a chat session, submit a ticket inquiry or have any other communication with your support staff over the LiveHelpNow platform. They will still have full access to your website.

- On the right, in the General tab, scroll down to the IP address field.
- Click the [ban] button, enter a reason why the ban is being applied, and click the 'ban' link to block the visitor.
If for any reason you banned a visitor by mistake an Administrator can release the ban in Admin Panel > Chat System -> System Setup > Banned IPs.
