In the past, access to the bastion host was restricted to static IP addresses belonging to the users with access. This worked well for users with a (semi-)static IP address, but introduced a lot of friction for users on most residential internet connections in Europe (e.g. when accessing the server from their home). Due to this friction, we have decided1 to drop the IP filter.
