Can I use FQDN host to define allowed client in a firewall rule?

JeffThompson

Hi,

I run a NextCloud server to allow some PCs on another site to back up to the NAS here.  I'd like to restrict the 'allowed clients' in my firewall rule for NextCloud so that only connections from the known remote site are permitted. The other site does not have a static IP, so all I can work with is the FQDN of its DDNS entry.  The rule is a web server rule for a subdomain 'nextcloud.xxxx.net '.

As far as I can see, the 'allowed clients' list in a SFOS FW rule only allows IP-based entries.  Does anyone know a way to use a FQDN in this situation?

Thanks!

    Hi JeffThompson,

    Allowed client networks works with Specify the IP addresses and networks that can connect to the hosted web server with DDNS is not possible.

    This would be a feature request, please reach out to your Sales Engineer or Partner for them to gather the info, additionally, also click the Feedback bottom on the Firewall.
