Not that I know of.

We could start one. We only just started the tags late last quarter, so the current set isn't exhaustive.

**Client IP Restrictions** restrict access to your Teleport Cloud cluster, allowing traffic only from the specified network ranges (CIDR blocks).

## How to enable
This feature is only available to Teleport Cloud customers and is opt-in only. Please contact your account executive or [customer support](https://goteleport.com/support/) to enable client IP restrictions for your tenant.

## Adding CIDR blocks to the IP Allowlist

Log in to your Teleport Cloud account. Open the user dropdown menu on the top right of the navigation bar, and select "Help & Support," then scroll down until you see the IP Allowlist section.
Comment thread
logand22 marked this conversation as resolved.
If you do not see the IP Allowlist section, then it has yet to be enabled for your account. Please refer to [how to enable](#how-to-enable).

Once you add a CIDR, it will take effect in 5-20 minutes and will terminate existing connections. Changes to the allowlist are recorded in the audit log.

Managing allow rules is governed by Teleport’s existing RBAC system.
The preset `editor` role has permissions to read and write the allowlist.

You can also create custom roles granting access via the `client_ip_restriction`
resource.

```yaml
allow:
- resources: [ client_ip_restriction ]
verbs:
# list is required to view the allowlist
- list
# create and update are required to modify the allowlist
- create
- update
```

## Limitations

### Misconfiguration
Misconfiguration can block all access to your cluster. Make sure to include your current network before saving changes.

I can almost guarantee someone will lock themselves out.

Do we have anything on the roadmap to address this footgun? Most systems with a feature like this will prevent you from blocking your own IP (or at least warn you first).

We have an internal issue tracking additional improvements. https://github.com/gravitational/cloud/issues/15181

Unsure of the priority at this time.


### Third-party service ranges
Teleport does not auto-add third-party service ranges. You must add allow rules for any third party service that needs to access your Teleport cluster (CI/CD systems, Identity Providers, etc.)

### Network security
The allowlist applies to Teleport Cloud access; it does not replace your organization’s network/firewall policies.

### Sync time
The Client IP Restriction allowlist may take up to 20 minutes before it is fully synced.

## FAQ

### How many CIDRs can you configure?

By default, up to 256 CIDR blocks can be configured. Please contact your account executive or customer support to increase the limit.

### Do you support a denylist?

Teleport Cloud client IP restrictions do not currently support a denylist.
