Security — IPs and exceptions

Purpose

Define allowed networks and users and review temporary exceptions.

Before you start#

• Review access before use

Step by step#

1. 1

   As an administrator, open the account menu → Security.

2. 2

   Check Your IP and the organization's restriction option.

3. 3

   Add an allowed IP/CIDR with description and users using the on-screen controls.

4. 4

   Check the rules before turning on the restriction; remote access may use a changing IP.

5. 5

   Use IP Exceptions for user, reason, optional IP and validity when needed.

6. 6

   Filter active/expired/all exceptions and renew/remove those no longer needed.

7. 7

   Admins are exempt from IP blocking; do not use this to justify promoting operators to Admin.
