# How to enable hotlink and IP policies on a CDN pullzone

Hotlink and IP policies helps to **block** or **allow** access from _domains_ or _IPs_ to your CDN endpoint. 

**Hotlink:** Controls access for domains
**IP Access Policy:** Controls access for IP addresses

Both options are disabled by default, however, you can set your own policies if needed by following the guide;

1. Go to the **Security** tab in the Pull zone's manage page
