About network zones

Network zones define security perimeters around which admins can restrict or limit access based on the following parameters:

  • A single IP address
  • One or more IP address ranges
  • Classless inter-domain routing (CIDR) notations
  • A list of geolocations
  • IP type
  • Autonomous system numbers (ASN)

Network zones consist of IP zones, Dynamic zones, and Enhanced dynamic zones. You can add to or use these zones for the following items:

  • Okta sign-on policies
  • App sign-on policies
  • VPN notifications
  • Integrated Windows Authentication (IWA)

Policies and rules are automatically updated when you modify a network zone definition.

When you edit a network zone, wait approximately 60 seconds for the change to propagate across all servers and take effect.

Network zones have the following limits:

  • You can configure up to 100 zones in an org.
  • You can configure up to 150 gateway IPs and 150 proxy IPs (except for IP zones that are blocked).
  • IP blocked zones may contain up to 1000 gateways in each zone and up to a total of 25,000 in an org.
  • You can configure up to 5000 gateway IPs for the default system IP Zone.
  • You can configure up to 5000 proxy IPs for the default system IP Zone.
