BYOIP (Bring your own IP space)

[Michel_Bardelmeijer]

Hey! Is it possible to bring your own IP space (BYOIP) with Fly?

Hi! This is actually not supported due to our use of Anycast for global distribution, we’d like to support it at some point in the future, but it’s a bit complicated.
You can read more about our public network services here and here for more information on Anycast.
Hope this answers your question!

Hi zee, thanks for getting back to me! I’ve found the following community post that said it would be possible (although very expensive). Is this outdated, or is there a way for this if we have our own /24 block?

BYO compute resources and external ip addresses

Just wondering if you guys could make it possible to bring-your-own compute resources and external IPs.? Maybe would be easier to answer those separately since, I think own IPs might be harder than compute resources. However, would appreciate any answer regarding this idea. P.S.: we have some ideas and concepts for this. Would like to chat about this privately first before sharing every detail public.

So, no, it’s not outdated, but as Kurt said there, it would be a very expensive feature and isn’t something we’re able to automate at this time so would be complicated. What is the issue you’re facing or reason you’re looking to implement this?

I see, thanks for the clarification! We have a very niche use-case for it, but if the costs remain the same it isn’t a option for unfortunately. Maybe in the future when it’s automated Thanks!
