## Forest Admin IP white-listing (Forest Cloud)

In this documentation article, we will guide you through the process of authorizing Forest Admin IP addresses in your database to enhance security, when using our Forest Cloud solution.

This will ensure that only approved IP addresses can access your database, safeguarding your data and minimizing potential vulnerabilities.

**Step 1: Forest Admin IP Address to Whitelist**

For the proper functioning of our services, it's essential to whitelist the following Forest Admin IP address: **35.180.175.97**

**Step 2: Access Your Database Configuration**

Log in to your database management system and navigate to the configuration settings. The process may vary depending on your database provider, so refer to your provider's documentation if needed.

**Step 3: Update IP Whitelist**

Locate the IP whitelisting or firewall settings in your database configuration. Add the Forest Admin IP addresses you obtained in Step 1 to the list of authorized IP addresses.

**Step 4: Apply Changes and Test Connection**

Save the changes to your database configuration and restart your database if necessary. To confirm that the IP addresses have been successfully authorized, try accessing your database using Forest Admin.
