- > High availability and other Features of Azure Database for PostgreSQL flexible server require ability to send/receive traffic to **destination port 5432** within Azure virtual network subnet where Azure Database for PostgreSQL flexible server is deployed, as well as to **Azure storage** for log archival. If you create **[Network Security Groups (NSG)](../../virtual-network/network-security-groups-overview.md)** to deny traffic flow to or from your Azure Database for PostgreSQL flexible server instance within the subnet where it's deployed, **make sure to allow traffic to destination port 5432** within the subnet, and also to Azure storage by using **[service tag](../../virtual-network/service-tags-overview.md) Azure Storage** as a destination. Also, if you elect to use [Microsoft Entra authentication](concepts-azure-ad-authentication.md) to authenticate logins to your Azure Database for PostgreSQL flexible server instance, allow outbound traffic to Microsoft Entra ID using Microsoft Entra [service tag](../../virtual-network/service-tags-overview.md).
