Question around whitelisting IPs (i'm just curious) #897

Open Obsiye opened 1 year ago

Hi all, i have questions but please only answer when you have free time :) This is just me doing some L&D to look at how to improve a service in our own team.

I see that you've whitelisted IPs in pre-prod environments and I had some questions.

I was wondering why whitelist? Also, why not in production?

This is because we've been thinking about whitelisting IPs in our team to sort out an issue around not so nice Bots attempting to access our service (they fail to).

I was wondering if you'd had any pitfalls with having to whitelist?. Do you have any users being blocked that shouldn't be?

Also, is CLA on portal?

Thank you :D .
