IP Allow and protected branches

Neon's IP Allow feature, available with the Neon Business plan, ensures that only trusted IP addresses can connect to the project where your database resides, preventing unauthorized access and helping maintain overall data security. You can limit access to individual IP addresses, IP ranges, or IP addresses and ranges defined with CIDR notation.

You can configure IP Allow in your Neon project's settings. To get started, see Configure IP Allow.

Protected branches

You can apply IP restrictions more precisely by designating specific branches in your Neon project as protected and enabling the Restrict IP access to protected branches only option. This will apply your IP allowlist to protected branches only with no IP restrictions on other branches in your project. Typically, the protected branches feature is used with branches that contain production or sensitive data. For step-by-step instructions, refer to our Protected branches guide.
