How to Enable Web IP Restrictions #

Overview #

Web IP restrictions allow you to control which computers or networks can access the web clock-in feature. This can be applied at the company level or per employee. For best results, a static IP address is strongly recommended.

Important Note About IP Addresses #

  • IP addresses can change frequently if they are not static.
  • If you use a dynamic IP, you may need to constantly update the allowed IP addresses.
  • Using a static IP ensures consistent access without ongoing maintenance.

How This Affects Employees #

  • You can also block access from certain computers by blacklisting their IP addresses.
