App Platform -- Static IP

Matthew Walden

We should be able to securely whitelist our infrastructure to access external resources, without apps being able to be given static IP addresses we can not use the service without opening our infrastructure to security problems.

We have finished work to scope this feature. I can confirm this feature is on our roadmap but we do not have firm timelines for when this will be available.
Thank you for your continued interest in App Platform and feedback!

Any updates on this?

Shaurya Singh

I totally agree with Tyler Morton. This is not a missing feature but a security and it needs to be fixed immediately.

Skyler Young

This stands to stop deployment of critical infrastructure for Washington State Department of Health. Their IT prefers (or requires? still negotiating) a dedicated IP to whitelist for traffic traveling over their domain. We're in a bind.

Viktor Zimmermann

Not that important - you can always use proxy like IPBurger for such requests

ido bleicher

Please it's super important for me, I whitelist all ips for now and it's a big security breach.

I've been checking in on this thread for well over a year hoping something will change, nothing has changed, I currently have 6 different deployments from 3 organisations and all are affected by this one single feature that takes forever to implement, I have to agree with Tyler Morton this is not just a feature but a security hole that needs urgent attention.

My application's payment facilitator black lists all traffic globally from DigitalOcean, but they will white list a specific DigitalOcean ip address. This is probably the case for many other people with other types of services.

Last update was April unless I am missing something. This is a must. I don't want to have to move my apps over to a different provider but I also need to be able to talk to certain services from whitelisted API's to preserve some sort of security.

Tarrek (Product Manager) can you provide any further update please?

Tarrek (Product Manager)

Lewis Stancer: Our team is currently working on this feature; we will be able to provide additional updates on an availability timeline in the next few months! Thanks for reaching out.

Daniel Smith

Tarrek (Product Manager): I appreciate you providing an update, but a few months for a static IP feature is too long. I'll have to migrate our services off Apps for now. Once static IP is released, I'll consider DO Apps for my next project.

Stan Rutten

Tarrek (Product Manager): I cannot wait for DO to drop this very much needed feature. will definitely migrate all our applications to DO!

Gerardocastanon

Tarrek (Product Manager): Thanks so much man, it would be really helpful and im sure all the community will love it !

My App in Github need the IP of my app !!!!

Daniel Smith

Agreed with Tyler. Currently facing an issue where my app needs to reach out to an API endpoint that's whitelisted only. My IP changes so often and it's a pain to get that it's becoming impractical (if I ever want a day off).
