IP allowlisting is great if you have a small, static team where devices don’t change much. But man, if you’ve got remote workers or folks hopping between coffee shops, VPNs are way more practical.
Security-wise, both have risks. IP spoofing can mess with allowlisting, and VPNs can get compromised if credentials leak.
For tools, check out Tailscale for VPNs or Cloudflare Access for IP-based controls. Saw a bunch of debates on ip allowlisting vs vpn reddit threads, and honestly, it depends on your setup.
