Allowing IPs

Last updated: 1 minute read.

IP Allowlist (Middleware)

  • enable_ip_whitelisting: Enables IPs allowlist1 . When set to true, only requests coming from the explicit list of IP addresses defined in (allowed_ips) are allowed through.

  • allowed_ips: A list of strings that defines the IP addresses (in CIDR notation) that are allowed access via Tyk. This list is explicit and wildcards are currently not supported. e.g.:

{
...
"enable_ip_whitelisting": true,
"allowed_ips": ["12.12.12.12", "12.12.12.13", "12.12.12.14"]
...
}

For more details on CIDR notation, see this Wikipedia entry.
