 * Hi,
 * I am Andrei Tudose from ShortPixel.
    One of our clients has your plugin installed
   also. Your plugin reports as malicious our IP’s we use to optimize the images.
   Please whitelist the following IP’s: 176.9.40.54 176.9.106.100 176.9.21.94

 * Thank you!
    For any questions please contact me.

 * Hi! We cannot but the client can. There is a White Access List in the plugin 
   dashboard: [https://wpcerber.com/using-ip-access-lists-to-protect-wordpress/](https://wpcerber.com/using-ip-access-lists-to-protect-wordpress/)

 * Hi Gioni,
 * Thank you for your answer. I kindly ask you to take into consideration to hardcore
   our IP’s in your plugin. It will be more helpful for our 200.000+ customers and
   probably for their experience with your plugin as well. We will be happy to recommend
   your plugin 🙂
 * Kind regards,
    Andrei

 * Hi!
 * That would be no problem, but who will maintain the list? The best way is to 
   have a public list on your website in JSON format plus HTTPS so any plugin can
   get and use it automatically. The URL will be hardcoded in the plugin.

 * This is a very good idea.

 * Great, thanks! We’ll implement whitelisting those IPs soon. It’s not critical
   but I would recommend using a static .json file if it’s possible to avoid PHP
   overhead.

 * How can we test all that? Any playground?
