## Allowed IPs

Allowed IPs is a feature of [SSH bastion](#ssh-bastion). It allows you to specify a list of IP address ranges which should be allowed to connect to the SSH bastion and the resources behind it. All other IP address will be blocked from connecting. Find out more in the [SSH bastion](/network/public-gateways/how-to/use-ssh-bastion/#how-to-configure-allowed-ips) documentation.

## Default route

The Public Gateway can advertise a default route to resources on an attached Private Network, which takes effect when the IP destination address for a packet is not known on the network itself. In effect, resources in a Private Network will know to route packets through the Public Gateway if the destination IP address is not a host on the Private Network itself.

SSH bastion is a server dedicated to managing connections to the infrastructure behind your Public Gateway. When you activate SSH bastion on your Public Gateway, all [SSH keys held in your Project](https://console.scaleway.com/project/ssh-keys/) are imported to the SSH bastion, providing a single point of entry. You can then connect to resources behind the bastion (connected to the same Private Network as the Public Gateway) via the bastion. This makes management of your infrastructure easier and more secure, as you do not need to expose your other resources to the internet in order to connect to them, neither do you need to upload SSH keys to individual resources.

2. Click the Public Gateway for which you want to activate SSH bastion. You are taken to the **Overview** page for that Public Gateway.

## How to configure allowed IPs

The [Allowed IPs](#how-to-configure-allowed-ips) feature lets you control which public IPs can connect to resources behind the bastion. All IPs are blocked except those specified in your Allowed IPs list.

When you first activate SSH bastion, the Allowed IPs list has one entry: a default IP range of `0.0.0.0/0` which gives access to **all** public IPs.

<Lightbox src="scaleway-ssh-bastion-allowed-ips.webp" alt="The Public Gateway's dashboard in the Scaleway console shows that SSH bastion is activated, and the Allowed IPs list contains one entry: 0.0.0.0/0" />

### How to allow all IPs

If you do **not** want to restrict connections to the resources behind the bastion to specific public IPs only, ***leave the default entry of `0.0.0.0/0` in place**. This IP range encompasses all possible public IPs, so will allow any public IP address to connect to the bastion (as long as they have a valid SSH key). No further configuration is required.

If you have deleted the default entry, you can re-add an entry for `0.0.0.0/0` at any time. Click the **Add allowed IPs** button, and add a single entry for `0.0.0.0/0` to restore access to all public IPs.

### How to restrict access to certain IPs

To restrict connections to resources behind the bastion to specific public IPs only, you must delete the default `0.0.0.0/0` entry, and add entries for the specific IP ranges that you want to allow. Follow the steps below

1. Ensure you have [activated SSH bastion](#how-to-activate-ssh-bation).
2. In the **Allowed IPs** list, delete the default IP range entry `0.0.0.0/0` by clicking the <Icon name="delete"/> button next to it.
A pop-up displays, asking you to confirm that you want to delete this IP range.
3. Type **DELETE** in the box, then click **Delete allowed IP range**.
The IP range is deleted and you are returned to the Allowed IPs list.
4. Click the **+ Add allowed IPs** button.
A pop-up displays, asking you to enter the IPv4 address ranges to allow.
<Lightbox src="scaleway-add-allowed-ips.webp" alt="A pop-up screen from the Scaleway console, with a text box to allow the user to enter multiple IPv4 ranges separated by newlines. The instructions say: Add one or more IPv4 address ranges to allow. Always include the subnet mask. Use a tool like ipcalc if you need help calculating the subnet of your IP ranges." />
5. Enter the IPv4 address ranges you to want to allow to connect to your SSH bastion. In each case, include the subnet mask (use `/32` for single addresses). You can add multiple IP ranges in one go by separating them with new lines.
6. Click the **Add IPs** button.
The IPs are added, and you are returned to the Allowed IPs list.

Repeat steps 4 - 6 to add more IP range entries, if you wish.

You can delete an entry from the list at any time by clicking the <Icon name="delete" /> button next to it.

## How to reimport SSH keys

If you add new SSH keys to your [Project credentials](/identity-and-access-management/iam/concepts/#api-key) after activating SSH bastion, you will need to perform a reimport to update the bastion with the new keys.

### How to connect using the resource's fully-qualified domain name (FQDN)

The domain to use is set when the Public Gateway is attached to the Private Network. Therefore, the FQDN to use depends on how you made this attachment:
The command to use is:

- **Via the Scaleway console**: The FQDN takes the form `resource-name.priv`
- **Via Terraform**: The FQDN takes the form `resource-name.dns_local_name` where `dns_local_name` is [this](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/scaleway/scaleway/latest/docs/resources/vpc_public_gateway_dhcp#dns_local_name) Terraform option.
- **Via the Scaleway CLI or API**: The FQDN takes the form `resource-name.dns_local_name` where `dns_local_name` follows the specification [here](https://www.scaleway.com/en/developers/api/public-gateway/#path-dhcp-create-a-dhcp-configuration), defaulting to `.priv`.
```bash
ssh -J bastion@PUBLIC_IP_OF_PUBLIC_GATEWAY:61000 user@FQDN
```

The FQDN is `<resource-name>.<private-network-name>.internal`.

Carry out the following command on your terminal to connect to a resource inside your Private Network. Remember to replace `FQDN` with the FQDN in the format specified above.
When connecting as the user `alex` on an Instance named `scw-frosty-cannon` on a Private Network named `pvn-silly-goodall`, where the Public Gateway has an IP `51.158.125.88` and SSH bastion is configured on port 6100, the full connection command would therefore be:

```bash
ssh -J bastion@PUBLIC_IP_OF_PUBLIC_GATEWAY:61000 user@FQDN
ssh -J bastion@51.158.125:61000 [email protected]
```

<Message type="note">

For [Legacy Private Networks](/network/public-gateways/concepts/#ipam) not in IPAM mode and still using DHCP configuration objects, the FQDN may be different. The domain to use was set when the Public Gateway was attached to the Private Network. Therefore, the FQDN to use depends on how you made this attachment:

- **Via the Scaleway console**: The FQDN takes the form `resource-name.priv`
- **Via Terraform**: The FQDN takes the form `resource-name.dns_local_name` where `dns_local_name` is [this](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/scaleway/scaleway/latest/docs/resources/vpc_public_gateway_dhcp#dns_local_name) Terraform option.

Paste the following code into the file, then save and exit. Ensure that you make the following replacements:
- `.priv`: If you attached the Public Gateway to the Private Network via the console, this is the correct value.
