+
+ <listitem>
+ <para>Takes a boolean argument. If true, turns on IPv4 and IPv6 network traffic accounting for packets sent
+ or received by the unit. When this option is turned on, all IPv4 and IPv6 sockets created by any process of
+ the unit are accounted for. When this option is used in socket units, it applies to all IPv4 and IPv6 sockets
+ associated with it (including both listening and connection sockets where this applies). Note that for
+ socket-activated services, this configuration setting and the accounting data of the service unit and the
+ socket unit are kept separate, and displayed separately. No propagation of the setting and the collected
+ statistics is done, in either direction. Moreover, any traffic sent or received on any of the socket unit's
+ sockets is accounted to the socket unit — and never to the service unit it might have activated, even if the
+ socket is used by it. Note that IP accounting is currently not supported for slice units, and enabling this
+ option for them has no effect. The system default for this setting may be controlled with
+ <varname>DefaultIPAccounting=</varname> in
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-system.conf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>

+
+ <listitem>
+ <para>Turn on address range network traffic filtering for packets sent and received over AF_INET and AF_INET6
+ sockets. Both directives take a space separated list of IPv4 or IPv6 addresses, each optionally suffixed
+ with an address prefix length (separated by a <literal>/</literal> character). If the latter is omitted, the
+ address is considered a host address, i.e. the prefix covers the whole address (32 for IPv4, 128 for IPv6).
+ </para>
+
+ <para>The access lists configured with this option are applied to all sockets created by processes of this
+ unit (or in the case of socket units, associated with it). The lists are implicitly combined with any lists
+ configured for any of the parent slice units this unit might be a member of. By default all access lists are
+ empty. When configured the lists are enforced as follows:</para>
+
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>Access will be granted in case its destination/source address matches any entry in the
+ <varname>IPAddressAllow=</varname> setting.</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>Otherwise, access will be denied in case its destination/source address matches any entry
+ in the <varname>IPAddressDeny=</varname> setting.</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>Otherwise, access will be granted.</para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+
+ <para>In order to implement a whitelisting IP firewall, it is recommended to use a
+ <varname>IPAddressDeny=</varname><constant>any</constant> setting on an upper-level slice unit (such as the
+ root slice <filename>-.slice</filename> or the slice containing all system services
+ <filename>system.slice</filename> – see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.special</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> for
+ details on these slice units), plus individual per-service <varname>IPAddressAllow=</varname> lines
+ permitting network access to relevant services, and only them.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that for socket-activated services, the IP access list configured on the socket unit applies to
+ all sockets associated with it directly, but not to any sockets created by the ultimately activated services
+ for it. Conversely, the IP access list configured for the service is not applied to any sockets passed into
+ the service via socket activation. Thus, it is usually a good idea, to replicate the IP access lists on both
+ the socket and the service unit, however it often makes sense to maintain one list more open and the other
+ one more restricted, depending on the usecase.</para>
+
+ <para>If these settings are used multiple times in the same unit the specified lists are combined. If an
+ empty string is assigned to these settings the specific access list is reset and all previous settings undone.</para>
+
+ <para>In place of explicit IPv4 or IPv6 address and prefix length specifications a small set of symbolic
+ names may be used. The following names are defined:</para>
+
+ <table>
+ <title>Special address/network names</title>

+
+ <para>Note that these settings might not be supported on some systems (for example if eBPF control group
+ support is not enabled in the underlying kernel or container manager). These settings will have no effect in
+ that case. If compatibility with such systems is desired it is hence recommended to not exclusively rely on
+ them for IP security.</para>
