You can restrict access to your Timescale Cloud services to trusted IP addresses only. This prevents unauthorized connections without the need for a Virtual Private Cloud. 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 the ops mode and the data mode.
You create an IP allow list at the project level, then attach your service to it.
Important
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.
