# Limit access per IP

If you want to restrict your cluster to specific IPs for enhanced security, follow these steps:

1. Go to the **Overview** tab.
2. Click on the **Limit Access per IP** button.

A popup will appear where you can configure IP restrictions:

- In the text field, add the IPv4 or IPv6 address you want to allow access to your cluster.
- Add one IP at a time. After entering an IP, press the **Enter** key. The IP will appear at the top of the text field.
- Repeat this process to add more IPs as needed.

Once you’ve added all the IPs, click the **Update** button. All nodes in your cluster will automatically adopt these IP restrictions—no need to configure each node individually.

#### Removing IPs

If you want to remove an IP:

- Click the **cross (X)** button next to the IP you want to delete.
- Click **Update** to apply the changes.

If no IPs are listed in this section, your cluster will be open to all IPs.

#### Adding New Nodes

If you’ve configured IP restrictions and later add a new node, the new node will automatically inherit the existing IP restrictions.
