Trapped by Security: How We Solved the Salesforce Solo Admin Lockout Crisis

If you’ve been managing a Salesforce org or spinning up sandboxes recently, you already know that 2026 has been a wild year for security updates. Following the major data breaches and vulnerabilities of last year, Salesforce has understandably cracked down. But for solo administrators, consultants, and developers, one specific security enhancement has felt less like a shield and more like a trap: the automatic freezing of users on anonymous VPNs. The “Circular Trap” for Solo Admins Picture this: You log in to a Developer Edition org or a sandbox from a public Wi-Fi network. For basic data privacy, you have your personal VPN turned on. Suddenly, Salesforce flags the IP address, blocks your connection, revokes your OAuth tokens, and freezes your admin user account. If you are part of a massive enterprise team, this is an inconvenience—you just ask a colleague to unfreeze you. But if you are a solo admin, or the only user in a sandbox, you are officially locked out of your own house. The only way back in? Waiting on phone queues to raise a case with Salesforce support. After getting frozen out multiple times simply for forgetting to turn off a VPN, we at Anyity decided we couldn’t just sit around and wait for a fix. We built one. Introducing Unfreeze Manager We created Unfreeze Manager, a lightweight managed package specifically designed to act as an automated safety net for solo admins and sandbox environments. Instead of leaving you stranded, Unfreeze Manager monitors your user statuses entirely within your org. Install It Today Security is vital, but it shouldn’t completely paralyze your productivity. With Unfreeze Manager, you can safely navigate your day knowing that an accidental VPN login won’t cost you hours of lost development time. Ready to protect your environments?

Salesforce Licenses: Are You Overpaying for Features You Don’t Use?

Most companies start their Salesforce journey by buying “full” Sales Cloud licenses for everyone. As a dual-certified Consulting and ISV partner, Anyity sees this as a fundamental architectural mistake. The License Breakdown (The Anyity Way): Salesforce CRM Licenses: The “Gold Standard.” Necessary for your power users—Sales reps and Support agents who need Lead-to-Cash or Case Management. Salesforce Platform Licenses: The “Secret Weapon.” These are significantly cheaper. We recommend these for users who only need access to custom apps (like our ITAM App) or internal automation, but don’t need full CRM objects. Integration & Identity Licenses: Stop wasting $150/month on a “User” just to connect your email tool. Salesforce now offers free Integration licenses. We help you set these up during our Quickstarts to keep your overhead low. Agentforce Licenses: The future of autonomous growth. We ensure your architecture is “Agent-ready” so you aren’t paying for AI seats before your data is clean enough to support them. Why Anyity? Because we are AppExchange Developers, we understand the underlying “Platform” better than a standard configuration-only agency. During our Managed Services health checks, we typically find 15-20% in license savings by downgrading “passive” users to Platform or Identity licenses. Don’t let your Salesforce bill grow faster than your revenue. Book our Free 30-Minute Strategy Audit to optimize your license stack and architect your growth.
