Many organizations have adopted IP address allowlisting for their corporate cloud applications as an added layer of security. Many sanctioned cloud applications and web services enforce access restrictions based on the source IP address of incoming traffic. To establish a connection with these remote SaaS services, your traffic must originate from a particular IP address that is pre-registered. Any traffic originating from different IP addresses will be denied access by these remote applications.
