Because of company policies, I prefer to use Postman offline on my local device.
I understand that a change was made to send data to the cloud starting from a specific Postman version.
Could you please tell me the last version that allows for strictly local usage?
Hey @gooooou
Welcome to the Postman Community!
Postman can be still used in a basic local signed-out state to build and send HTTP, WebSocket, gRPC, MQTT and GraphQL requests.
Are there specific concerns from your company around the data - We have 35+ million users across 500K businesses, each having their own very strict security policies and we have been working with these for many years.
More information granular information around product security, privacy, compliance, and reliability can be found here:
Thank you for your answering my question.
Iโll use Postman without signing in to follow my company regulations.
But I need to know which version of Postman allows me to use it locally on my device without sending data to the cloud, even when Iโm logged in.
If you sign out of the latest version, you have use of the Lightweight API Client.
In order to use the full feature set of Postman, you will need to sign in.
I would recommend that if you are signed in, you make use of variables and never hardcode any sensitive information like tokens, passwords, etc. Store these values in the current value only and these will not be synced.
The Postman Vault can also be used to locally store sensitive data in your own encrypted store.
