: For those whose ISPs reassign their IP addresses frequently, OdataLink provides a GEO-based mechanism. Using this mechanism, the ASN (or ISP) along with a specific geographical region (e.g. city, state or country) can be configured in the OdataLink Firewall. This is particularly useful for Countries whose internet infrastructure is more mobile.

In addition to these mechanism, entries can either apply to all users of OdataLink or to a single user. IP addresses associated to a single user are particularly useful. Each time a user logs into OdataLink, they will be prompted to update their associated IP Address. This greatly simplify managing the Firewall for those that have dynamic IP Addresses.

In addition to these mechanism, entries can either apply to all users of OdataLink or to a single user. IP addresses associated to a single user are particularly useful. Each time a user logs into OdataLink, OdataLink checks to see if their IP address is authorised. If not, they will be prompted to update their associated IP Address. This greatly simplify managing the Firewall for those that have dynamic IP Addresses.
