# Add an IP Service to a Network

An IP service can be added to a Network while configuring the new Network or later. For more information, refer to [About Network Routes and IP Services](https://openvpn.net/cloud-docs/owner/networks/networks---ip-services/about-network-routes-and-ip-services.md).

You would want to configure IP Services to:

- Create an implicit IP subnet route for the network.
- Designate an IP subnet as a source of traffic to be used later in Access Groups.
- Restrict the protocols that will be used to access the service.
- Define who can access the IP service using Access Groups.
- Easily identify the traffic destined to the IP service by using a named IP Service when viewing statistics in [Access Visibility](https://openvpn.net/cloud-docs/owner/access/access---visibility/about-access-visibility.md).

You can add an IP service to an existing Network from the IP Services tab shown in the detailed view as shown in [View, make changes, and delete a Network](https://openvpn.net/cloud-docs/owner/networks/networks---networks/view-make-changes-and-delete-a-network.md), or you can add it from the IP Services list as shown below:

1. Sign in to the CloudConnexa Administration Portal using your WPC's **Cloud ID** address (for example, `yourcompany.openvpn.com`).
2. Navigate to **Networks \> IP Services**.
3. Click **Add IP Service**.
4. Provide a **Name** for the IP Service.
5. Add an optional **Description**.
6. Select a **Network** from the drop-down list.
7. Change **All** for **Service Type (Network protocols)** to select specific application protocols to permit while restricting all others.
8. Toggle **Use as Source** if you want to use the IP subnets you will provide as a traffic source and as a traffic destination. For example, if the IP service is a software update application, and you want to restrict which destination subnets that software update application can communicate with using [Access Groups](https://openvpn.net/cloud-docs/owner/access/access---groups/about-access-groups.md).
9. Add one or more **Subnets**.
10. Click **Add IP Service**.

    The newly added IP Service will be listed.

> **Note**
>
> Remember to use the newly created IP Service in Access Groups. Refer to [Add an Access Group to allow access](https://openvpn.net/cloud-docs/owner/access/access---groups/add-an-access-group-to-allow-access.md).
>
> View who is accessing this IP Service using Access Visibility. Refer to [Find the Number of Blocked and Allowed Access Events From a Traffic Source to a Destination](https://openvpn.net/cloud-docs/owner/access/access---visibility/find-the-number-of-blocked-and-allowed-access-events-from-a-traffic-source-to-a-destination.md).
