    Log into your GCP account. In the console, navigate to: https://console.cloud.google.com/marketplace?_ga=2.26702909.1494282976.1678740607-1491144562.1675196305&pli=1.

Deleting VPN access for a user

For information about removing VPN access for a user, see Deleting a VPN user. To delete VPN access, you must have administrator privileges.

  1. 1.
    In the DuploCloud Portal, navigate to Administrator --> Tenant.
  2. 2.
    Select the Tenant in the Name column.
  3. 3.
    Click the Security tab.

    Click Add. The Add Tenant Security pane displays.
  5. 5.
    In the Source Type field, select Ip Address.
