Network restrictions

Supabase's Network Restrictions feature allows you to control which IP addresses or ranges can access your database, enhancing your application's security and helping you meet compliance requirements.

Key features

1. IP-based access control: Limit database connections to specific IPv4 and IPv6 ranges.
2. Flexible configuration: Easily manage restrictions via Dashboard or CLI.
3. Environment-specific rules: Set different access policies for development, staging, and production.
4. Pre-authentication barrier: Restrictions are enforced before database credential checks.

Benefits:

• Enhanced security: Reduce the attack surface by limiting access to trusted IP addresses.
• Compliance support: Meet regulatory requirements for data access control in various industries.
• Granular control: Tailor access rules to your specific network infrastructure needs.
• Additional protection layer: Mitigate risks even if database credentials are compromised.

Network Restrictions are particularly valuable for:

• Enterprise applications handling sensitive data
• Financial services and healthcare systems with strict compliance requirements
• Government and public sector projects needing stringent security measures
• Multi-tenant SaaS platforms isolating client data access

By implementing Network Restrictions, you create a more secure environment for your data, demonstrating a commitment to protection that builds trust with users and stakeholders. This feature provides a crucial first line of defense against unauthorized access attempts, complementing other security measures like strong authentication and encryption.
