Limiting Clients to Specific IPs {: .subtitle }

IpWhiteList

IPWhitelist accepts / refuses requests based on the client IP.

Configuration Options

sourceRange

The sourceRange option sets the allowed IPs (or ranges of allowed IPs by using CIDR notation).

ipStrategy

The ipStrategy option defines two parameters that set how Traefik determines the client IP: depth, and excludedIPs.

ipStrategy.depth

The depth option tells Traefik to use the X-Forwarded-For header and take the IP located at the depth position (starting from the right).

  • If depth is greater than the total number of IPs in X-Forwarded-For, then the client IP will be empty.
  • depth is ignored if its value is less than or equal to 0.

!!! example "Examples of Depth & X-Forwarded-For"

If `depth` is set to 2, and the request `X-Forwarded-For` header is `"10.0.0.1,11.0.0.1,12.0.0.1,13.0.0.1"` then the "real" client IP is `"10.0.0.1"` (at depth 4) but the IP used for the whitelisting is `"12.0.0.1"` (`depth=2`).

| `X-Forwarded-For`                       | `depth` | clientIP     |
|-----------------------------------------|---------|--------------|
| `"10.0.0.1,11.0.0.1,12.0.0.1,13.0.0.1"` | `1`     | `"13.0.0.1"` |

ipStrategy.excludedIPs

excludedIPs configures Traefik to scan the X-Forwarded-For header and select the first IP not in the list.
