# How Can I Access My Store If I Have Blocked My Own Country?

## Introduction  
If you've blocked your own country or if you are using a Proxy/VPN connection, Blocky provides a simple way for you to access your store without disabling your settings, as long as you **are logged in as the store admin**.

## How To Access Your Store From a Blocked Country As The Store Admin  
1. [Click here](https://admin.shopify.com/?redirect=%2Fthemes) and open your Shopify store admin.  
2. Look for the **Online Store** section in the left navbar.  
3. *Hover your mouse* over the **Online Store** section name **until an eye icon appears**  
4. **Click on the eye icon that appeared** and your store will open  
5. Blocky will detect you as the store's admin and will not block you, regardless if you are using a Proxy/VPN connection or if you are accessing the store from a blocked country.

## Important  
* This bypass applies only to **your current session**.  
* All other visitors will still be blocked based on your configured rules.

## Conclusion  
The above method allows you to manage and access your store safely—even when your own country is blocked.
