Hey everyone,
This release brings some major upgrades to Access Policies, making them much more powerful and flexible. I've also moved them to their own dedicated page to make them easier to manage. A huge thank you to GitHub user @psybernoid for suggesting these enhancements in issue #183!
What's New in v2.1.4:
-
Geo-Fencing (Country Blocking): You can now add country-based rules to your Access Groups! This makes it simple to implement geo-fencing and block traffic from specific countries for any of your services.
-
Multiple Policies per Rule: This has been a big request. You can now apply multiple Access Groups to a single ingress rule. This is perfect for layering policies—for example, combining a "Family Access" group with a "Block High-Risk Countries" group. This works both in the UI and via a new dockflare.access.groups (plural!) label.
-
IP-Based Rules in Access Groups: I've also officially added support for IP-based rules within Access Groups. You can now create policies that allow access from specific IP ranges (like your home or office network) and reuse them across any of your services.
-
Dedicated "Access Policies" Page: To support all these new features, I've moved the entire Access Groups manager to its own page in the main navigation bar. This should make creating and managing your reusable policies a much smoother experience.
I'm really excited about these changes and I think they open up a lot of possibilities for securing your services. As always, thank you for using DockFlare and for your feedback!
Cheers, Chris
