      • configuring an IP address authorisation list

      I do it now
      You can also access the page directly here: https://ui.smsmode.com/settings/keys

       

      By default, all IP addresses are authorised to make API requests to your account.

       

      However, you can restrict access to only those IP addresses that you authorised in advance.

      Once this feature has been activated, users calling the API from the IP addresses entered (authorised users) will be able to access it. Calls from all other IP addresses (unauthorised third parties) are denied access and receive an HTTP 403: Forbidden error (refused access).

      Why is it preferable to filter IP addresses?
      Controlling IP addresses is an additional level of security to strengthen the security of your account and prevent malicious activity. This is because API requests can be used to access confidential personal data, send SMS messages and so on.
