When configured, an employee trying to clock in from home (a different IP) will receive an error or be blocked from submitting their attendance.<\/p>\n<h2>How to configure IP Restriction<\/h2>\n<p>In Zoho People&#8217;s attendance settings, you add the public IP addresses of your office networks to a whitelist. Employees can only successfully clock in when their device&#8217;s IP matches one of the whitelisted addresses.<\/p>\n<h2>IP Restriction vs Geo-fencing<\/h2>\n<p>IP Restriction works on network identity: if you&#8217;re on the office WiFi, you can clock in. Geo-fencing works on physical location: if your GPS is within the office boundary, you can clock in. IP Restriction is simpler to set up but can be bypassed with a VPN. Geo-fencing is harder to spoof but requires the mobile app and GPS access. Many organisations use both together for stronger attendance integrity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IP Restriction in Zoho People limits employee clock-in to specific IP addresses \u2014 such as the office network \u2014 preventing employees from logging attendance from home or other unauthorised locations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"seo_title":"IP Restriction (Attendance) | Zoho Glossary | Aaxonix","seo_description":"IP Restriction in Zoho People limits employee clock-in to specific IP addresses \u2014 such as the office network \u2014 preventing employees from logging attendance","seo_keyword":"IP restriction attendance zoho people office network","seo_faqs":"","term_type":"","glossary_related":"","glossary_links":""},"glossary_category":[1251],"class_list":["post-4847","glossary","type-glossary","status-publish","hentry","glossary_category-zoho-people"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary\/4847","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/glossary"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4847"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"glossary_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary_category?post=4847"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
