Outbound Persistent IP

[aarroisi]

Hi,

I have a Django app that’s using third party services. I need to register my IP address to be added to their whitelists, or else they will block the requests from my server. I’ve already tried allocating fixed public IP v4, but it turns out that it only allocate IP address for the load balancer, not the source of the request (the actual machine running my Django app).

What’s the solution to this?

Hi,

You are correct in that the IP assigned by Fly is the one for incoming requests.

There are a variety of posts on this forum about getting a static outgoing IP since that is not currently supported. For example you could scroll up/down this thread for some ideas e.g:

Outbound IP Address

We still don’t have the plumbing to give people stable outbound IPs. For now, the simplest thing is either quotaguard.com or VMs from someone like DigitalOcean running a proxy (Smokescreen would be pretty easy: GitHub - fly-apps/smokescreen: An example of deploying Smokescreen on Fly.io)
