# Configure Postman Monitors to run from static IPs

This feature is available on Postman Enterprise plans. For more information, see the [pricing page](https://www.postman.com/pricing/).

Postman's static IP feature enables you to use [Postman Monitors](/docs/monitoring-your-api/setting-up-monitor/) to monitor APIs that are behind a restricted firewall. This feature requires your IT team to allowlist certain static IP addresses. The IPs to allowlist will depend on whether you have a [US Enterprise plan](#static-ip-address-monitoring-for-us-plans) or [EU Data Residency plan](#static-ip-address-monitoring-for-eu-data-residency-plans). Each IP address will be fixed to its specified region and shared by all customers who use this feature.

With [Private API Monitoring](/docs/monitoring-your-api/runners/overview/), you can use runners and the Postman CLI to monitor and test your organization's APIs from your internal network, without publicly exposing your endpoints. Once set up, monitors run in your internal network and the runner sends the results to the Postman cloud.

## Static IP address monitoring for US plans

You can set up static IP address monitoring if you have a US-based Postman Enterprise plan. You can choose either or both of two IPs, one from the US (East) region and the other from the US (West) region.

### Allowlisting static IP addresses

Static IP addresses are available for US (East) and US (West) regions. Contact your IT team to allowlist the following IP addresses:

* US (East): `34.201.186.27`
* US (West): `52.89.173.88`

### Creating a new monitor to run from a static IP address

When [creating a new monitor](/docs/monitoring-your-api/setting-up-monitor/#create-a-monitor), click the dropdown list under **Runners**. Select your desired static IP regions, and then click **Create**.

### Changing an existing monitor to run from a static IP address

Click the <img alt="Services icon" src="https://assets.postman.com/postman-docs/aether-icons/v12/descriptive-services-stroke.svg#icon" width="20px" /> **Services** tab and expand **Monitors** in the sidebar. Select a monitor, then select <img alt="Options icon" src="https://assets.postman.com/postman-docs/aether-icons/v12/icon-action-options-stroke.svg#icon" width="20px" /> **More actions > Edit**.

Under **Runners**, click the dropdown list. Select your desired static IP regions, then click **Update Monitor**.

## Static IP address monitoring for EU Data Residency plans

You can set up static IP address monitoring if you have a [Postman EU Data Residency](/docs/administration/enterprise/about-eu-data-residency/) plan, with static IPs located in the EU (Central) region.

### Allowlisting static IP addresses

Contact your IT team to allowlist the following IP addresses:

* EU (Central): `63.179.82.81`, `3.71.240.166`, `3.124.150.113`

To correctly configure static IP address monitoring, you must allowlist all three IP addresses listed here.

## Next steps

After setting up a monitor for APIs that are behind a restricted firewall, you can set up an integration with other tools in your development workflow.
