Hi there, I have tried a few things with IP filtering and I have a question about how can I restrict traffic to the cloud UI. We are using Terminalserver where we want to access the Cloud UI and block every other connection. For now I just tried to create a ruleset and added it to the "admin-console-elasticsearch". After that I was able to login but when I Login I get: ```auto There was a problem communicating with the system cluster. Origin status code [403 Forbidden]. ``` So my question is, is there a way to restrict the Cloud UI with the IP-Filter and how? ---

Unfortunately I believe the only way of IP restricting traffic to the Cloud UI is externally to ECE, eg using OS level IP filtering on the UI/API ports (`12443`) ---
