Allowing / disallowing IP addresses access to a model

OdataLink has an inbuilt Firewall to safeguard your data and the OData feed urls.

As such, models can only be used from specific IP Addresses.

OdataLink provides two ways to control which IP addresses have access to models. Both approach leads to the same result.

To allow / disallow IP addresses access to a model follow these steps.

3. Click on the Manage IP Addresses button;
