Komodo does not support allowed_ips = ["100.64.0.0/10"] which would ensure that only Tailscale or Netbird VPN mesh traffic is permitted to access the periphery API.

Looks like only explicit IP addresses are a permitted configuration variable, this is problematic for Tailscale or NetBird because there is no such thing a static IP in their networks. The workaround is to allow the entire netblock that we know will be used by the VPN an no external public IP should be permitted to access the API.

The alternative to adding CIDR support could be that periphery agent only allows traffic on a specific ethernet interface (e.g: wt0 or tailscale0) but I think supporting IPv4 CIDR notation is a better and simpler solution....
