Engine IP Allowlists
![](https://blog.thirdweb.com/content/images/2024/07/batman-thinking.gif)
We've added IP Allowlist to enhance your Engine instance security. This feature lets you control which IP addresses can access your Engine API while keeping it accessible from Dashboard .
What it does:
- Restricts API access to specified IP addresses
- Keeps Engine accessible from the Dashboard regardless of IP
- Works with both cloud and self-hosted Engine instances
How to use it:
- Configure IP Allowlist from the Configuration section in Engine Dashboard or using the API
- Add or remove IP addresses as needed
- Save changes to apply the new access rules
For setup details and best practices, see our IP Allowlist documentation. Self-hosting behind a reverse proxy? Check our self-hosting guide.
