Asked by setec
How do I restrict connections to only the sources required for a knowledgebase and agent?
The only options I see in the dropdown are my current public IP and totally unrelated droplets. I’m asking because it says “all other public and private connections will be denied.” Some connection must be needed to run the agent but that is not running from any of the droplets displayed and definitely from my local computer.
"Trusted sources
To restrict connections to trusted sources, add at least one inbound source below. When you do, all other public and private connections will be denied.Why is this so important?"
