There are times that a specific URL or website is blocked by protections from VPNs. This is scenario, if the host is not able to white label traffic from Speedify, an alternative is to use the CLI (Command Line Interface) built into the X510 OS. Here are the the steps to complete the bypass.

Before you begin, ensure that you have the following:

• IP Address: The routers local IP address.
• Username: Use ‘root’ as the username.
• Password: Generated by Miri Technologies. If you need this password file a support ticket to receive.
• SSH Client: Mac/Linux – The built-in Terminal app is sufficient.

Speedify CLI Bypass Steps:

1. Navigate to the Speedify Directory:

• Use the cd command to move to the directory where speedify_cli is located:
    cd /usr/share/speedify

2. Add Domains to the Bypass List:

• Replace <domain> with the domain you want to bypass:
    ./speedify_cli streamingbypass domains add <domain>
    Example:
    ./speedify_cli streamingbypass domains add websitename.com
• Note that you do not want to add http, https, or www.

3. Verify Bypassed Domains:

– To check that the domains have been successfully bypassed:
  ./speedify_cli show streamingbypass

4. Remove Bypassed Domains:

• Replace <domain> with the domain you want to remove bypass for:
    ./speedify_cli streamingbypass domains rem <domain>
    Example:
    ./speedify_cli streamingbypass domains rem websitename.com
• You will have noticed that the only change from bypassing a domain for removing the bypass is simply to change “add” to “rem”. Removing a bypass may be important if you want the traffic to now go through the VPN or it otherwise affected normal operation of the website.
