Quick Updates
You may need to update IP addresses by November 1, 2022
To expand our capacity in the cloud, we’re making some changes that might require you to take action by November 1.
If you have an allowlist configured for outgoing connections from your network to Sauce Labs, you will need to update that allowlist by adding one or two additional IP ranges, depending on the Sauce Labs data centers that you use. If you are unsure whether this applies to you, please contact your internal network/IT team for guidance. Learn more
