# When not to use the jump host
If you're going to do a *lot* of batch operations on all hosts (for
example with [Cumin](howto/cumin)), you definitely want to add yourself to the
[adding yourself to the allow list](howto/puppet#adding-an-ip-address-to-the-global-allow-list) so that you can *skip* using
the jump host.
For this, anarcat uses a special `trusted-network` command that fails
unless the network is on that allow list. Therefore, the above jump
host exception list becomes:
# use jump host if the network is not in the trusted whitelist
Match host *.torproject.org, !host ssh.torproject.org, !host ssh-dal.torproject.org, !host ssh-fsn.torproject.org, !host people.torproject.org, !host gitlab.torproject.org, !exec trusted-network
ProxyJump anarcat@ssh-dal.torproject.org
The [`trusted-network` command](https://gitlab.com/anarcat/scripts/-/blob/3f3f024b9b2cbd0a32687727be7b26c8594ef933/trusted-network) checks for the default gateway on
the local machine and checks if it matches an allow list. It could
also just poke at the internet to see "what is my IP address", like
<https://check.torproject.org/>...
