What happens to embed users if we restrict access to Looker to certain IP addresses?

This will essentially be a problem.

Since IP allowlist will limit incoming traffic from certain IP addresses and the VPN allows all users to come from only 1 IP address, if the embed users aren't using the VPN, they will get blocked by the allowlist rules.

At the moment, the workaround is to have two instances, one for embedding and one for Looker users.
