How to add an IP whitelist to your API keys
In V4.0 Altrady introduced IP binding, for even greater security of your API keys.
Each of your API keys has been allocated a set of 20 Altrady IP addresses.
Altrady will only use those 20 IP addresses when sending API requests to the exchange for the specific API key.
This means that no third party can use your API key to trade on the exchange, since Altrady owns the IP addresses.
You can find the IP addresses allocated to each of your API keys by Editing your Trading account on the page: Settings>Exchange API Keys
Here you can see the list of allocated IP addresses for this API key.
If you can't see IP addresses on your API keys, you can upgrade to the latest version of the app here or under Settings>Check for Updates.
This will download the latest major version using a browser, ready for installation.
These IP addresses are linked to a specific API key in Altrady. This list of IP addresses will not work with any of your other API keys.

Log into your Exchange account and navigate to the API keys page.
If you have more than one API key for this exchange, find the correct one. You can check the API key in Altrady and make sure you have the correct one.
Click Edit.
Enable IP whitelisting
On your exchange, it might be called Trusted IPs, IP binding, IP addresses, or IP Whitelist.
Copy the list of 20 IP addresses from Altrady, then click Update.
Paste the IP addresses into the relevant field for your exchange.
On some exchanges you must then click Confirm.
Check that all 20 IP addresses have been added
Finally, click Save to save the added IP addresses.
Huobi, Kraken and Poloniex API keys in Altrady will usually have "extra keys" attached to the main API key. Add the same list of IP addresses to your Extra keys.
While other exchanges allow adding 20 IP addresses all at once, for Kraken they must be added one at a time.
All 20 should be added to allow for load balancing across IP addresses.
In Altrady, at Settings>Exchange API keys, locate the Trading Account/API key for your Kraken account.
Click Edit to open the data dialog.

find the API key that matches your main Kraken API key in Altrady.
If you have API keys on Kraken that are used outside Altrady, it might not be possible to tell which is which, as Kraken does not display the API key, only the label you gave it.
You might also have more than one API key for Altrady, due to adding "Extra Keys" to your Altrady trading account, to avoid Kraken rate limits. That's fine: the IP whitelist will be the same for your main API key and extra keys associated with it, so it doesn't matter if you can't tell which Altrady API key is the main one and which is an extra key.
The IP whitelist will be the same for your main API key and any "Extra keys" associated with it
Edit the API key. Turn on IP whitelisting.

All done.
