IP allow lists now in public beta

GitHub Enterprise Cloud has introduced IP allow lists in public beta, enabling businesses to restrict access to their enterprise assets to a specified set of IP addresses, enhancing security by ensuring that credentials like personal access tokens can only be executed from approved locations. This feature leverages IP filtering based on CIDR notation, applicable to all user credentials, including administrators, and is configured at the enterprise or organization account level. It is particularly beneficial for managing access pathways for remote contractors who cannot access a corporate VPN. While IP allow lists apply to private resources, they do not affect traffic to public repositories. Feedback on this feature is encouraged during the beta period through GitHub's product feedback contact form.
