IP Whitelisting Features in O2VEND

The IP Whitelisting configuration screen is used to restrict backend access based on approved IP addresses. When this feature is enabled, the selected user will be allowed to log in only from the configured IP addresses. This helps prevent unauthorized access and improves overall system security.

This is an action-based configuration screen where administrators can add, edit, or remove IP addresses and apply the changes using the Save option.

Displayed Message

Access Denied!

Forbidden: You do not have permission to access this page. Please contact your administrator.

This page appears whenever the login request comes from a non-whitelisted IP. The user will not be able to proceed until one of the following actions is taken:

  • The current IP address is added to the whitelist by an administrator
  • The user connects from an already approved IP
  • IP Whitelisting is temporarily disabled by the administrator

How to Identify Your Current IP

To find your public IP address, open any browser and search for:

what is my IP

Use that address while configuring the whitelist to avoid access issues.

Outcome

Once saved, the selected user will be able to access the system only from the configured IP addresses. Any login attempt from an unlisted IP will display the Access Denied page with a 403 Forbidden message, ensuring secure and controlled access.
