Enable Users to Log in to VWO From Specified IP Addresses and Locations

You can restrict users to log into your VWO account only from specified trusted locations or when they are on a certain IP address. Say you and all of your employees are based out of New York and want to allow anyone to access your VWO account if they are in the New York location and restrict users from other locations, you can use this capability that allows access to the right users from the right location.

With this capability, you can limit access to your VWO account based on the user's location, their IP address, or both. All you need to do is, specify the locations and/or IP addresses you wish to whitelist, and VWO will do the rest for you, i.e., it limits the access to your VWO account from whitelisted locations only; it's that simple. In general, this adds a strong security layer by ensuring only authorized users can access your account. 

Location can be within a defined city, state, or country. And you can add IPv4 addresses each separated by a new line. You can use regular expression matching for IP addresses as well.
