Create & Delete Static IP Rules

Admin Only

Static IP rules are only available to organization administrators. The number of rules you can create depends on your plan (Free: 1, Starter: 5, Team: 15, Business: unlimited).

Creating a Rule​

Navigate to Static IPs under the Admin section in the sidebar.

  1. Click Add Rule.
  2. Fill in the form:
    • Label — A descriptive name (e.g., "NYC Office")
    • IP Address — The IPv4 or IPv6 address to whitelist (e.g., 203.0.113.10)
    • Resources — Check the resources to apply the rule to. Each resource is listed with its provider badge.
  3. Click Create.

The rule appears in the rules table. EntryGuard immediately applies the IP to all selected resources.

info

If no resources are available, you'll see "No resources available" in the form. Add resources on the Resources page first.

Status Indicators​

  • ACTIVE (green) — IP applied to all resources
  • PARTIAL (yellow) — Applied to some resources, failed on others
  • PENDING (blue) — Application in progress
  • FAILED (red) — Failed to apply

Viewing Rule Details​

Click a rule row to expand it and see per-resource details:

  • The creator's email address
  • Each resource's name, applied timestamp, status, and any error messages

Deleting a Rule​

Click the delete button (trash icon) on the rule row.

When deleted:

  • The IP is immediately revoked from all associated resources
  • Security group entries are removed
  • The rule is permanently deleted
warning

This action cannot be undone. To re-add the IP, you must create a new rule.

IP Address Validation​

  • IPv4 addresses are accepted (e.g., 203.0.113.10)
  • IPv6 addresses are accepted (e.g., 2001:db8::1)
  • CIDR notation is not supported — enter the IP address only
  • Hostnames are not supported

Best Practices​

  1. Descriptive labels — Use clear names that identify the source (e.g., "NYC Office - 5th Floor")
  2. Regular audits — Periodically review rules and delete unused ones
  3. Minimize scope — Only apply rules to resources that truly need permanent access
