Postman monitors access APIs from dynamic IP addresses and does not provide the option to use static IP addresses by default. You must [contact the Postman support team](https://support.getpostman.com/) for this feature to be enabled for your account.

By whitelisting a static IP address, customers can monitor their APIs behind a restricted firewall using Postman’s monitoring service, while conforming to company security policies.

Postman monitoring is available to all Postman Business and Enterprise customers. The provided static IP addresses are fixed to their specified region and shared by all customers who enable this feature.
