+**Self-hosting on an air-gapped or internal network**: By default, Twenty refuses outbound connections to private/internal IP addresses (SSRF protection). If your mail or calendar server runs on a local/private IP (e.g. an on-premise server on a LAN), connections to it will be blocked. To allow them, set the following environment variable on the server:
+
+```
+OUTBOUND_HTTP_SAFE_MODE_ENABLED=false
+```
+
+This disables safe mode for **all** outbound requests (HTTP workflow actions, webhooks, and IMAP/SMTP/CalDAV connections), so only set it on trusted, isolated networks where the SSRF protection is not needed.
