On February 1st 2024, AWS will start charging for IPv4 addresses. We're deprecating IPv4 for direct connections.
For more rationale behind the change, please read our blog post: Brace yourself, IPv6 is coming.
If you plan on not using our connection pooler, which still supports IPv4, and your environment does not support IPv6, consider enabling the add-on.
[!NOTE]
You do not need to enable this add-on if you use Supavisor, our new connection pooler!
The add-on is $4 per month - we're simply passing on the AWS costs to you. The add-on is available for all paid plans.
You still need to migrate away from PGBouncer even with this add-on enabled.
You can now enable the IPv4 addon in your project addon settings.
Additionally, we're working on making this even better by offering dedicated IPv4 addresses which help with IP allowlisting and network restrictions. There will be another update once dedicated IPv4 addresses are ready to use.
