What is my VMs IP?

[tgdn]

Hello all,

I am trying to access an SFTP from a Fly VM that requires me to whitelist my IP.

curl ifconfig.me which gave me an IPv4

And
curl ifconfig.co which gave me an IPv6.

I also reserved an IPv4 by using the command: fly ips allocate-v4.

Thank you in advance

I’d really like to be able to reliably whitelist Fly apps by IP/list/range/whatever. I run reverse proxies, and occasionally one or more Fly IPs will get blacklisted by an external host. Since some requests go out through different Fly IP addresses to the external host, we get an intermittent “sometimes it mak…
