What it does

Limits endpoint-derived public IPs to servers, because a workstation's public IP is usually a home or mobile network you do not own.

When enabled

only servers' public IPs are checked.

When disabled

Off adds workstation public IPs, which are mostly internet provider addresses: more lookups and results that do not describe your own exposure.

Risk and how to reverse it

Changes what is collected from the next run: narrowing it means some assets or data are not collected, so they look absent in profiles, CIs and reports (absence is never read as fixed). Reversible: change it back; the next run collects again.
