description: Restrict access to your services with IP address allow lists
---

You can restrict access to your Tiger Cloud services to trusted IP addresses only. This prevents unauthorized connections without the need for a [Virtual Private Cloud](../security/vpc). Creating IP allow lists helps comply with security standards such as SOC 2 or HIPAA that require IP filtering. This is especially useful in regulated industries like finance, healthcare, and government.

For a more fine-grained control, you create separate IP allow lists for [service and data management](/get-started/quickstart/create-service/index.md).

## Create and attach an IP allow list for service management

You create an IP allow list at the [project level](../security/members), then attach your service to it.

You attach a service to either one VPC, or one IP allow list. You cannot attach a service to a VPC and an IP allow list at the same time.

1. **In Tiger Console, select `Security` > `IP Allow List`, then click `Create IP Allow List`**

   ![Create IP allow list](/_astro/create-ip-allow-list-tiger-console.CQABvOHi_1gwS3h.webp)

2. **Enter your trusted IP addresses**

   The number of IP addresses that you can include in one list depends on your [pricing plan](../pricing-and-account-management).

   ![Add IP addresses to allow list](/_astro/add-ip-addresses-to-allow-list-tiger-console.Ds8zI430_1VJv2r.webp)

3. **Name your allow list and click `Create IP Allow List`**

   Click `+ Create IP Allow List` to create another list. The number of IP allow lists you can create depends on your [pricing plan](../pricing-and-account-management).

4. **Select a Tiger Cloud service, then click `Operations` > `Security` > `IP Allow List`**

   ![Attach IP allow list](/_astro/attach-ip-allow-list-tiger-console.DAd9QaHC_Z1i4xiM.webp)

5. **Select the list in the drop-down and click `Apply`**

6. **Type `Apply` in the confirmation popup**

You have created and attached an IP allow list for service management operations. You can unattach or change the list attached to a service from the same tab.

## Create an IP allow list for querying your data

You create an IP allow list in the Data view settings.

1. **In Tiger Console, toggle `Data view` at the top right**

2. **Click the cog icon to open `Preferences` > `Settings`**

3. **Log into PopSQL**

4. **Scroll down and toggle `IP Allowlist`**

5. **Add IP addresses**

   1. Click `Add entry`.
   2. Enter an IP address or a range of IP addresses.
   3. Click `Add`.
   4. When all the IP addresses have been added, click `Apply`.
   5. Click `Confirm`.

You have successfully added an IP allow list for querying your service in Data view.
