IP Range Protection

IP range protection

Use IP range protection to restrict video playback to specific IP addresses or ranges.

CIDR notation

IP ranges are defined using CIDR notation. In CIDR notation, subnet masks are specified by a suffix appended with a slash to the IP address. For example, 74.125.227.0/29 represents the IP range 74.125.227.0 to 74.125.227.7.

To enable IP range protection:

• In the navigation bar, click Security Policies.

• Select an existing security policy or create a new one.

• In the editing area, select the IP range protection checkbox:

  

• Enter the allowed IP ranges in the text box.

Video playback is only allowed within the specified IP ranges.
