Restrict access by IP address (organization IP allowlist)
Lock down access to your organization to specific IP addresses or network blocks.
What it is
The IP allowlist restricts sign-in to your Omnifox organization to a specific set of IP addresses or network ranges — your office connection, a corporate VPN, and so on. If your team always works from fixed locations, this adds a strong extra layer of protection even if a password is ever compromised.
Requirements
- Owner or Admin role (the
settings.managepermission). - The public IP address(es) or CIDR block(s) your team connects from.
Steps
- Go to Settings > Security.
- Under IP Allowlist, type an IP address or block into the text field (IPv4, IPv6, or CIDR notation, e.g.
190.15.23.0/24). - Click Add.
- Repeat for every IP or network you need to authorize.
- Click Save changes to apply the policy.
Configuration
- Each entry can be a single IP (
190.15.23.10) or a CIDR block (190.15.23.0/24). - The format is validated before saving — an invalid or duplicate entry shows an inline error.
- Remove any entry individually with its delete button.
Example
Your office has a fixed IP 190.15.23.10, and your remote team exits through a VPN using the block 172.16.40.0/24. Add both entries and save — from that point on, only those two networks can reach the organization.
Tips
- Before turning this on, add the IP you're currently working from first, so you don't lock yourself out.
- If your team connects from dynamic IPs (home broadband, mobile data), consider relying on two-factor authentication instead, or use a broad CIDR block from your ISP.
Troubleshooting
- You locked yourself out: ask another Owner/Admin with access to remove or fix the entry, or contact Omnifox support.
- A teammate can't sign in: check that their current public IP is on the list — they can search "what is my IP" in their browser to confirm it.
