Important
Private IP ranges aren't internet routable and don't allow SFTP connection. Don't include private IP addresses, which fall in these ranges:
- 10.0.0.0/8 IP addresses: 10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255
- 172.16.0.0/12 IP addresses: 172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255
- 192.168.0.0/16 IP addresses: 192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255
Note
Once a tenant is deprovisioned or considered in a "LockedOut" state, the public SSH key is deleted and SFTP will no longer work.
