<p>How do you allow all outbound traffic with Istio?</p>

<p>I tried the following:</p>

<ul>
<li>Disable the egress gateway and
bypass the sidecar with  --set global.proxy.includeIPRanges="0.0.0.0/0\,0.0.0.0/0"</li>
</ul>

<p>None of the options work, worth to mention I'm using kubernetes 1.11.2</p>

<p>I assume you followed <a href="https://istio.io/docs/tasks/traffic-management/egress/#calling-external-services-directly" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a>, that's pretty much the way to do it. </p>

<p>Make sure that you update the <code>istio-sidecar-injector</code> <code>ConfigMap</code> on your namespace and restart your pods.</p>
