# Remove one or more IPs from the allow list

## API Overview

IP access management allows you to control which IP addresses can access your account. You can use either the Console or the API.

Twilio SendGrid limits the number of allowed IP addresses to `1000`.

> \[!CAUTION]
>
> The list of the allowed IP addresses doesn't include your IP address without your action. You *can* remove from your IP address from the list of allowed IP addresses and block your access to your account. While Twilio can restore your access, this requires thorough proof of your identity and ownership of your account.
>
> To prevent the accidental removal of your IP address from the allowed addresses, the Console displays your IP address in the **Add IP Addresses** pane.

To learn more, see [IP access management](/docs/sendgrid/ui/account-and-settings/ip-access-management/).

## Operation overview

```json
{"path":"https://api.sendgrid.com/v3/access_settings/whitelist","method":"delete","servers":[{"url":"https://api.sendgrid.com","description":"for global users and subusers"},{"url":"https://api.eu.sendgrid.com","description":"for EU regional subusers"}]}
```

**This endpoint allows you to remove one or more IP addresses from your list of allowed addresses.**

To remove one or more IP addresses, pass this endpoint an array containing the ID(s) associated with the IP(s) you intend to remove. You can retrieve the IDs associated with your allowed IP addresses using the "Retrieve a list of currently allowed IPs" endpoint.

It is possible to remove your own IP address, which will block access to your account. You will need to submit a [support ticket](/docs/sendgrid/ui/account-and-settings/support/) if this happens. For this reason, it is important to double check that you are removing only the IPs you intend to remove when using this endpoint.
