Credentials
Best for dynamic cloud fleets. Keep secrets out of git. Label credentials by project.
Allowlisting
Best when your egress IPs are stable. Document every allowlisted IP. Remove leavers quickly.
Incident hygiene
Log auth errors separately from target 403s. Canary a domain you own through the proxy on every deploy.
