Issue

You need to enable an IP or set of IP addresses to access your Liferay Cloud instance.

Environment

Liferay SaaS

Resolution

Configure the NGINX webserver through editing the configuration files in /webserver/configs/common/conf.d/. Note: You can edit either the default liferay.conf file or create additional .conf files.

allow a.b.c.d;
allow e.f.g.h/i;
...

deny all;

Where a.b.c.d and e.f.g.h/i are IP addresses and ranges you whitelist. You can define multiple addresses and ranges in this way.

The default nginx.conf has the line
```
 include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
```
which includes the other .conf files found in the conf.d directory.
The syntax follows the NGINX syntax. Refer to NGINX configuration guidelines
