removeWafWhitelistIPs — Removing from the IP whitelist

The IP whitelist may be used to universally allow visitors from particular IP addresses. The IP whitelist is used internally by SiteLock to ensure our scanners are always allowed to access the user’s site. Attempts to remove SiteLock scanner IPs from the whitelist will be partially discarded—​for example, if removing 3 IPs, and 2 are SiteLock scanners, only the third non-SiteLock IP will actually be removed from the IP whitelist—​this is automatic.

The removeWafWhitelistIPs method removes items from the whitelist.

The API endpoint is:

https://api.sitelock.com/v1/partner
