# Updating IP Whitelist

There are many reasons why you may need to update your IP whitelist with Solana Vibe Station such as if you would like to connect from a different location or your previously whitelisted public IP changes.

Currently IP whitelisting is only necessary for public GRPC and private VPS users. Users using the basic public RPC services do not need a whitelist.

## Instructions

1. Obtain your public IP address using either browser or the terminal.
2. Navigate to the [<🌐┃update-connection>](https://discord.com/channels/1241508519190986752/1258990419451187271) channel in our Discord.
