Restrict website access by IP address

  • Article

Once a website is provisioned, it's accessible by anyone from any computer.

Note

Users will still need to provide credentials to view the site if it set to private mode. See Site visibility for more details.

You can restrict access to your website from a list of IP addresses. For example, a government organization might want to surface their content only within their corporate network. A commercial organization might want to display the website only when it's published and not while it is in development to avoid any data leak.

When a request to the website is generated from any user, their IP address is evaluated against the allow list. If the IP address isn't on the list, the website displays a web page with an HTTP 403 status code.

To add or remove IP addresses, you must be assigned any one of the following roles:

Add an IP address

To allow access to a website from an IP address or a set of IP addresses, you can add the IP addresses to the list. This allows the website to be accessed only from the list of added IP addresses. If you don't add any IP address, the website is accessible from all IP addresses.

Once you add an IP address to the restriction list, the website is accessible to the specified IP address only. If you try to access the website from any other IP addresses, access is denied and a web page with an HTTP 403 status code is displayed. The content of this web page is static and can't be modified.
