Set allowed IP ranges for the domain
To set allowed IP ranges, open Edit Domain, click the Option tab and click Add IP Range next to Allowed Host IP range. Enter the start and end IP, click Add, and repeat up to 10 times. Ranges are saved at once. When you set an IP range on a user, it must fall inside these.

Options
| Option | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Add IP Range | Opens a window with the list of ranges. | |
| Start | First address of the range, for example 10.20.0.1. Up to 20 characters. | empty |
| End | Last address of the range. The start must not be greater than the end. | empty |
| Add | Saves the range. You can also press Enter. | |

Example
Acme sets 203.0.113.10 to 203.0.113.50 as its office range. When Rohit's IP range is set to 203.0.113.20 to 203.0.113.30, it is accepted. A range outside the office range is refused with the message "User host IP-Range only allowed in" followed by your list.
Good to know
- You can keep at most 10 ranges, and the same range cannot be added twice.
- Both addresses must be valid IP addresses.
- When the list is empty, user IP ranges are not limited by the domain.
- Only the ranges you add here are checked against the IP ranges that you set for individual users.
Common questions
Do I need to click View / Save Changes after adding a range?
No. Add and Remove save the list straight away.
Why can't I remove a range?
A message tells you to remove the matching IP range from the users first. A range that still contains a user's own range cannot be removed.
