Hosting unreachable web applications on Upsun 🔒

Exposing applications that should never answer requests from the open internet is a major security risk. Deciding how to lock down access without adding unnecessary architectural layers can be a real headache.

Here is how to manage unreachable applications on Upsun:

  • The problem: Certain internal applications must stay completely isolated from public internet requests.
  • The fix: Choose between two main strategies: setting up a public route with restricted access, or configuring no public route at all.
  • Why it matters: Understanding these route constraints helps you balance security layers effectively without over-complicating your setup.
