IP and network restrictions

Configure IP filtering to restrict access to Select Star from specific IP addresses or networks for enhanced security and compliance.

IP and network restrictions allow organizations to restrict access to Select Star based on IP addresses or network ranges. This security feature helps organizations enforce access control policies and maintain compliance requirements by ensuring users can only access Select Star from approved locations.

Overview

When IP and network restrictions are enabled, Select Star will only allow access for the organization's users from the specified IP addresses or CIDR blocks. Users attempting to access Select Star from unauthorized IP addresses will be denied access, regardless of their authentication credentials.

Configuration

Contact Select Star support to enable and configure IP and network restrictions for your organization.

Supported IP Formats

IP and network restrictions support the following formats:

• Single IP addresses: 192.168.1.100

• CIDR blocks: 192.168.1.0/24

• IP ranges: Multiple entries can be configured to allow access from various networks

Use Cases

IP and network restrictions are particularly useful for:

• Security compliance: Meeting organizational security requirements

• Regulatory compliance: Ensuring data access is restricted to approved networks

• Remote work policies: Allowing access only from office networks and approved VPN connections

• Risk management: Reducing exposure by limiting access to known, trusted networks

Important Considerations

• VPN compatibility: Users working remotely will need to connect through an approved VPN network so that their IP address appears as pre-approved when accessing Select Star over the Internet.

• Dynamic IP addresses: Organizations with dynamic IP addresses may need to configure broader CIDR ranges

• Mobile access: Consider mobile users who may access Select Star from various networks

• Backup access: Ensure administrative access is possible in case of network changes
