I don’t believe it is currently possible to whitelist an IP/range (as you don’t know the external IP Fly will use) or have an AWS VPC-equivalent.

I’d think you would need some form of proxy instance. For example this person had the same issue:

What is the best way to route all my outgoing network requests via wiregaurd

The Problem I am trying to connect to a MongoDB Atlas Cluster from a Fly VM that is running a node app. The issue is that Atlas uses an IP whitelist and Fly, so far, does not support static/fixed IPs out of the box.

Whitelisted the Droplet’s IP so that it can connect to MongoDB. Locally on my development machine, set up Wireguard + set up a SOCKS proxy by …
