Always getting dedicated US IPs (ipv4) assigned

[roadmr]

@panam-py

the service I am using does for does not allow US IPs

It sounds like you’re accessing a third-party vendor, which suggests what you need is an egress IP:

Static egress IPs for machines

You can now assign static egress IPs to your machines.! Although most apps don’t need it, it is useful when using services like MongoDB atlas that require allowlisting a range of IPs. You can allocate static egress IPs to your machine by running fly machine egress-ip allocate <machine ID>. These IPs survive machine migration and are not shared between machines. Static egress IPs for machines will cost $0.005 per hour.

These should be assigned according to the region your machine is in. Crucially, note these are assigned per machine and not per app. So if you allocate a machine in an EU region (ams, fra, cdg are good choices, lhr is not as it’s not in the EU ) and then get a static egress IP, all requests from that machine to the outside should go through that static egress IP.
