What’s the best way? Anshuman Bhardwaj (@anshumanb) · 2025-12-22 · ♥ 1 Hi @hello-5431, I'm guessing you wanna hide the app to prevent users from using a unfinished version. The simplest way is to use Vercel Firewall to deny access to everyone. Apart from that you can always delete all the deployments for this project which will take users to 404 page. Raj (@hello-5431) · 2025-12-22 Can you guide me through how to do the firewall (I’m not on pro version). If I delete a deployment, how do i redploy ? Will it auto-occur via github? Anshuman Bhardwaj (@anshumanb) · 2025-12-22 · ♥ 1 Hi @ramsrishalini-8161, you don't need to be on Pro. Go to your Vercel Dashboard > Project > Firewall > Add Rule:  And then create and save this rule:  You'll see a notification to publish this rule, like this:  Click **Review** and then click **Publish**. You won't be able to open any page now. Jacob Paris (@jacobparis) · 2025-12-22 · ♥ 2 I think the easiest way here is to remove the Domain alias from the project. A project with no domains is inaccessible to the internet Be aware that if you're using a .vercel.app domain, this will free it up to be taken by someone else  Raj (@hello-5431) · 2025-12-22 Thanks guys, The firewall method worked. Re the domain method, can i redirect? Anshuman Bhardwaj (@anshumanb) · 2025-12-23 Yes. You can redirect using the `vercel.json` [configuration](https://vercel.com/docs/project-configuration) if you want. Anshuman Bhardwaj (@anshumanb) · 2026-01-23 Hi @hello-5431, I wanted to check in regarding your question about redirecting. Have you found a solution or still need assistance with the `vercel.json` configuration? If you require further guidance, please provide specific details about your setup or any issues you are facing.
