To ensure that your control panel is being accessed only from approved locations, you can use this tool to define specific IPs you wish to allow login access to your account/Control Panel.
The IP addresses in this article are placeholder examples only. Please make sure you know or have documented, the IP of the workstation/network from which you would like to access your MaxCDN Control Panel.
Configuring for your IP address
- Navigate to Account -> Users, find your user under the list of all users for this account, and click Manage
- You will see the security section on the right side of the page with the following options:
- When you click Enable, a pop-up window will appear with a notification informing you that only defined IPs will be allowed to access your control panel:
- Clicking on Enable Login Whitelist will display another pop-up window with an auto-detected IP address from which you are currently logged in. It will assume you want to save that one as allowed and will add it to the whitelist:
- You can add more whitelisted IP addresses by hitting Whitelist New IP which will open a form to insert more allowed IPs:
- Whitelist IP will add your provided IP address into the list of existing whitelisted IP addresses which you will see at the end of this process.
Using Class-C Wildcard for Continuous Subnets
If you are behind a dynamic IP from the location where you are accessing your account, you can use class C whitelist wild-card 122.122.122.% to cover all IP addresses that your host will have assigned.
What if I block myself by mistake?
In case your IP changes and you can't access the account, please send an email to support@maxcdn.com from account owner's email address stating which user account got locked so we can grant you access.
