Netlify Integration Static Inbound & Outbound IPs

Give Your Serverless Functions a Fixed Identity

Stop struggling with Netlify’s dynamic, rotating AWS IP ranges.

QuotaGuard provides a load-balanced pair of permanent Static IPs for both egress (outbound) and ingress (inbound) traffic, ensuring your serverless workflows satisfy even the strictest firewall and compliance audits.

Administrative & Technical Safeguards

Netlify’s global platform is built on an ephemeral CDN architecture where outbound requests from functions originate from over 80+ shifting IPv4 addresses.

‍Note: QuotaGuard is designed for connecting Netlify infrastructure to IP-restricted B2B resources like SQL databases, internal APIs, and secure gateways. This solution is not intended for web scraping consumer sites (e.g., social media or ticketing platforms) that block cloud infrastructure.

Native Outbound Configuration

QuotaGuard integrates directly with Netlify’s Git-based workflow and environment variable scopes, requiring zero changes to your site's deployment pipeline.

Scoped Environment Variable Support

Utilize Netlify’s "Scopes" feature to securely inject your QuotaGuard credentials only into your Function runtime.

This ensures your connection strings are available for server-side requests while remaining completely inaccessible to the client-side browser, maintaining a strict security perimeter for your sensitive networking data.

Build-Time & Runtime Compatibility

Unlike other proxies, QuotaGuard works during both the Netlify Build phase and the Function Execution phase.

This allows you to securely pull data from restricted private repositories or internal APIs during your site's pre-rendering build process, as well as during live serverless function calls.

Zero-Config Region Matching

Netlify allows you to customize your serverless function region (e.g., us-east-2 or eu-central-1) via the Netlify UI.

You can match your QuotaGuard gateway cluster to your specific Netlify function region to minimize network latency and satisfy strict regional data protection laws like GDPR or CCPA.

FAQs

Technical answers for routing Netlify applications through a dedicated static IP.

Why does Netlify officially state they do not support static outbound IP addresses?

Netlify uses a globally distributed, ephemeral CDN architecture where outbound traffic originates from vast, rotating pools of dynamic AWS and Google Cloud IP addresses.

Because these nodes are added and removed automatically to optimize traffic, Netlify cannot provide a fixed CIDR block for whitelisting.

QuotaGuard solves this by adding a dedicated proxy layer that stays constant even as Netlify’s underlying infrastructure scales or migrates across different cloud nodes.

Can I route Netlify Edge Functions through a QuotaGuard Static IP?

Yes, QuotaGuard is fully compatible with the Deno-based runtime environment used by Netlify Edge Functions.

Unlike standard serverless functions, Edge Functions act as middleware at the network edge, allowing you to intercept and route requests before they reach the browser.

By utilizing QuotaGuard's HTTP or SOCKS5 protocols within your Edge logic, you can securely access restricted enterprise APIs with the low-latency benefits of edge computing.

How do I whitelist my Netlify site on a firewalled database like MongoDB Atlas or AWS RDS?

To whitelist Netlify, you must route your outbound connection through QuotaGuard and add only your two assigned QuotaGuard Static IPs to your database’s firewall rules.

Since Netlify’s build and function servers use transient IPs that change constantly, attempting to whitelist the hosting provider directly is unreliable and insecure.

QuotaGuard provides a "secure bridge," allowing your serverless code to connect to firewalled SQL or NoSQL databases without exposing your ports to the entire public internet.

Does using a proxy increase the execution time or latency of my Netlify Functions?

The added latency is typically negligible (often under 10ms) if you match your QuotaGuard cluster to the AWS region hosting your Netlify Functions.

Netlify allows you to customize your function region in the site dashboard; by co-locating QuotaGuard in that same region, you ensure the shortest possible "network hop".

This is critical for staying within Netlify’s 10-second (synchronous) or 15-minute (background) function execution limits.

Is it secure to store my QuotaGuard proxy credentials in Netlify Environment Variables?

Yes, storing connection strings in Netlify’s Git-integrated environment variables is the industry-standard security practice.

Netlify encrypts these variables at rest and allows you to "scope" them specifically to the build or function runtime, ensuring they are never exposed to the client-side browser.

For added security, QuotaGuard Shield also supports secure proxy authentication tunnels, preventing credential leakage even during the initial connection handshake.

How does QuotaGuard handle HIPAA and SOC 2 compliance for healthcare apps on Netlify?

For healthcare teams, QuotaGuard Shield is designed to support encrypted transmission for approved Shield configurations.

BAA review is available after intake review and signed documentation.

By using SSL passthrough, customer payload contents are not decrypted at the proxy in ordinary operation.

Customers remain responsible for determining whether their full Netlify architecture satisfies HIPAA, PCI, or other regulatory obligations.

Can I use QuotaGuard for inbound traffic to provide a static IP for third-party webhooks?

Yes, QuotaGuard Shield can act as a static inbound entry point (Reverse Proxy) for services that require a single IP to send webhooks or API calls.

While Netlify’s load balancer IPs are dynamic, you can point your third-party service to your QuotaGuard Static IP, which will then securely forward the traffic to your Netlify endpoint.

This eliminates the need for partners to whitelist a rotating pool of CDN nodes and ensures your incoming integrations never break due to provider IP changes.

We've been using QuotaGuard Static for nearly six years to provide static IP addresses to our clients so they are able to whitelist our network traffic.

The service has been hassle free, has never "not worked" or had any downtime to my knowledge. The only time we've reached out to support was during a migration from one cloud provider to another to ensure that we wouldn't cause interruptions in the service ourselves. The service we received at that time was prompt and professional.

The app's backend runs on serverless functions, and the railway data provider I was using only accepted requests from a fixed IP address. QuotaGuard gave me exactly that, and my passengers' PNR status checks kept working.

I used QuotaGuard Static IPs for ClearBerth, my train app for Indian Railways passengers. The app's backend runs on serverless functions, and the railway data provider I was using only accepted requests from a fixed IP address. QuotaGuard gave me exactly that, and my passengers' PNR status checks kept working.

It helped me because I could keep building the app without worrying about how to get a static IP. For a solo developer that is a real relief.

The best thing about QuotaGuard is the owner himself. Michael is kind, thoughtful and genuinely warm. When I wrote to say thank you, he replied personally, said it made his Sunday morning, and offered a returning customer discount for any future project. You do not often get that from a service company. I would happily use QuotaGuard again and I recommend it to any developer who needs a static IP.

QG helped us prove our pipeline and workflow with users and in the end, we would have stayed but we use AWS for all our production so we had to switch. Sorry to go but loved every minute of it!

QUOTAGUARD FTW! We used qg for spooling up a prototype that needed access to MongoDB through Heroku without having to use 0.0.0.0 in mdb whitelist. Big nono for privacy and security. QG helped as we were able to add it as a resource in Heroku and test our prototype. As the platform matured, more test users came on board and our bandwidth scaled to a point where we were no longer a prototype so we moved over to AWS which is where our production apps live. The team at QG is beyond awesome. I sent an email and I think within 24hrs or less we had solved the issues with Tim and Michael. The fact they didn't pester after signup was refreshing as well. They are Dev dev's who get it. QG helped us prove our pipeline and workflow with users and in the end, we would have stayed but we use AWS for all our production so we had to switch. Sorry to go but loved every minute of it!

I needed to configure a static IP address for my app running on Heroku, so I could connect to an external database in a more secure manner. A colleague recommended Quotaguard as an option.

The product works great - but where they really shine is the exceptional customer service. One of my background workers was sneakily polling, which didnt show on the logs, and the Quotaguard support team showed patience and knowledge helping me get to the root of the problem. Fantastic team.

Solid service. :) Does what's on the tin. They know what they're doing, and I mean that in two ways: (1) their execution of their value offering is *solid*, and (2) they appear undistracted by things that *aren't* what they're doing. A "small, sharp tools", you know?
