IP restriction control on Ledger API

Questions
1

Hello Team,

Can the ledger api able to config with IP restriction control at source level? We are trying to explore how can we have IP restriction to disallow/block specific, range or geographical region access into the system.

Or what is the best practice to achieve that? doing it via firewall or gateway?

Thanks,
Dorrit

The ledger API itself does not provide that option. Uusually cloud providers like GCP or AWS provide mechanisms to control which IPs can access any service hosted there (including a ledger API server). Alternatively a custom firewall or a reverse proxy like Ngnix also work but are usually more work to setup.
