# Ban, Unban, and Whitelist Traffic Sources

The [Quarantine](https://waap.docs.link11.com/v2.20/product-walkthrough/security/quarantined) section shows a list of traffic sources (i.e., sources of incoming requests) that are currently banned, blacklisted, and whitelisted.&#x20;

## How to ban a requestor

A traffic source is banned automatically when it violates a [Dynamic Rule](https://waap.docs.link11.com/v2.20/product-walkthrough/security/dynamic-rules). You cannot manually ban a requestor.

However, you can accomplish the same effect by blacklisting the requestor. [Instructions are here](https://waap.docs.link11.com/v2.20/product-walkthrough/security/quarantined#blacklist-and-whitelist).

## How to unban a requestor

You can manually remove a requestor from the Banlist or Blacklist. [Instructions are here](https://waap.docs.link11.com/v2.20/product-walkthrough/security/quarantined#manual-removal).

## How to whitelist a requestor

Whitelisting a traffic source will make it exempt from Dynamic Rules. [Instructions are here](https://waap.docs.link11.com/v2.20/product-walkthrough/security/quarantined#blacklist-and-whitelist).
