Block private IP's to external call at API Gateway end

  • 1.  Block private IP's to external call at API Gateway end

    Posted Tue February 07, 2023 01:39 AM
    Hello Team,

    We have created API wrapper to consume  External service in API connect v10.0.1.But when we invoke service using "Invoke" policy in API service. Our private IP's ( Datapower IP, LB IP's) are pass to external user, which is not good practice. 
    At external service level, they received IP address in headers (X-Client-IP, X-Forwarded-For) and they required to whitelist that IP addresses (Combination of Private and Public IP address) to provide access.
    We require block our private IP's before invke External service. Please help how to block private IP address at API gateway level
