+description: Learn how to block the public endpoints of your databases.
+weight: 40
+---
+
+By default, you can connect to Redis Cloud databases through the database's public endpoint, or through the database's private endpoint with a private connectivity method. 
+
+Public endpoints are accessible from the public internet and don't require a private connectivity method. While this makes Redis Cloud databases convenient to use, it also exposes the databases to potential unauthorized access or brute force attacks, even with a database password in place. Some organizations may want to block public access to their databases to comply with security policies or to better meet stringent compliance standards.
+
+Users with Redis Cloud Pro databases can choose to block public endpoints for all databases in their subscription.
+
+## Block public endpoints
+
+You can block public endpoints for a subscription for a [new subscription](#new-subscription) or an [existing subscription](#existing-subscription).
+
+### New subscription
+
+To block the public endpoints when you [create a new Pro subscription]({{< relref "/operate/rc/databases/create-database/create-pro-database-new" >}}):
+
+1. Follow the instructions to [create a Pro database with custom settings]({{< relref "/operate/rc/databases/create-database/create-pro-database-new#custom-settings" >}}). 
+1. On the **Setup** tab, go to **Advanced options > Security** to select persistent storage encryption options. 
+1. Select **Block public endpoint** to block the public endpoint for all databases on the subscription. 
+1. Select **Continue** to go to the [Sizing tab]({{< relref "/operate/rc/databases/create-database/create-pro-database-new#sizing-tab" >}}). Follow the instructions to provision your database(s).
+
+After you block the public endpoints for a new subscription, you will need to set up a [private connectivity method](#private-connectivity-methods) to connect to your databases. 
+
+### Existing subscription
+
+For existing subscriptions, we recommend setting up a [private connectivity method](#private-connectivity-methods) to connect to your databases before blocking the private endpoint and migrating all connections to the private endpoint. 
+
+To block the public endpoints of an existing Pro subscription:
+
+1. From the [Redis Cloud console](https://cloud.redis.io/), select the **Subscriptions** menu and then select your subscription from the list. 
+1. Open the **Security** tab to view security settings.
+1. In the **Endpoint** section, select **Edit**.
+1. Select **Block public endpoint**.
+1. Select **Save** to save your changes.
+1. A window will appear asking you to confirm that blocking the public endpoint will reject clients connecting to the public endpoint. Select **I understand** and then **Block** to confirm.
+
+After your changes are saved, any incoming connections to the public endpoint of your database will be rejected.
+
+## Private connectivity methods
+
+Redis Cloud supports the following private connectivity options:
+- [VPC peering]({{< relref "/operate/rc/security/vpc-peering" >}})
+- [Google Cloud Private Service Connect]({{< relref "/operate/rc/security/private-service-connect" >}}) _(Google Cloud only)_
+- [AWS Transit Gateway]({{< relref "/operate/rc/security/aws-transit-gateway" >}}) _(AWS only)_
