QuotaGuard prioritizes production uptime by manually managing "Soft Limits" instead of implementing automated hard-stops when customers exceed their plan usage. Choosing the unscalable task of human intervention over programmatic suspension prevents critical service failures and accommodates the administrative delays of enterprise upgrade cycles. This policy has generated significant long-term revenue and trust by treating infrastructure connectivity as a shared business goal rather than a metered utility.

Hard to believe it’s been 11 years that the QuotaGuard service has been alive and kicking.Hard to believe it’s been 11 years that the QuotaGuard service has been alive and kicking.Technology companies that survive over 10 years are rare. Especially ones that are self-funded with no outside investment.

A Ruby app can talk to corporate LDAP easily with net-ldap, until it’s deployed on Heroku and the LDAP server sits behind a firewall. Heroku does not provide a fixed outbound IP, so corporate allowlisting breaks. QuotaGuard solves this by routing outbound traffic through a load-balanced pair of static IPs via a SOCKS5 proxy that supports LDAP. After provisioning QuotaGuard, there are two integration options: 1. SOCKS wrapper script: forces outbound TCP through the SOCKS5 proxy (optionally masked so only AD traffic goes through). It’s quick to set up, but the masking can become maintenance if AD hosts change, and the wrapper is Linux-only so local dev on macOS or Windows is awkward. 2. Patched gems: use QuotaGuard’s patched socksify and net-ldap to route LDAP through the SOCKS proxy directly via Gemfile entries. This works cross-platform and avoids per-host masking work, but it depends on custom forks that may lag upstream updates.

We cancel services when we do not need them anymore, and I hate when SaaS companies make that painful. So we keep cancellation simple and self-serve. If you subscribed directly through quotaguard.com, cancellation is permanent and you will likely get new IPs if you ever come back since canceled IPs get rotated. To cancel: • Log into your QuotaGuard account • Click Edit Account (top right) • Click Billing • Scroll to the bottom and click Cancel Account If something is unclear or you ran into an issue, email Support.

Download your QGTunnel config from the QuotaGuard dashboard as a .qgtunnel file and store it in your project root so your app startup does not depend on our site being reachable. For multiple environments, you now have two options: keep using a launch script that selects the right .qgtunnel file, or set the QGTUNNEL_CONFIG environment variable to point to the correct config per environment. QGTUNNEL_CONFIG requires the April 2021 (or later) qgtunnel release. Update via: curl https://s3.amazonaws.com/quotaguard/qgtunnel-latest.tar.gz | tar xz

QuotaGuard Static and QuotaGuard Shield are now available on the Microsoft Azure Marketplace. To sign up, find the QuotaGuard Static IP listing in the marketplace and follow the Azure signup flow.

QuotaGuard Shield is now generally available on Heroku. It’s QuotaGuard Static with a key difference for inbound traffic: SSL passthrough. Incoming SSL is not decrypted at our load balancer. It’s passed to your Heroku app to decrypt, which matters when certificate handling and security controls need to stay on your side. By contrast, QuotaGuard Static uses SSL termination, which requires certificates on our infrastructure so we can decrypt and forward requests. Shield removes that requirement. SSL is configured entirely in Heroku, and you can use Heroku ACM. QuotaGuard Shield on Heroku is also positioned as HIPAA compliant for securely transferring sensitive data.

Do you need to change your credit card for your QuotaGuard subscription? It’s pretty simple and available in our dashboard.

If PythonAnywhere sent you to QuotaGuard to connect to a MySQL database, the fastest path is our example Python app. It demonstrates using mysql-connector-python through QuotaGuard by monkeypatching it to route via PySocks. Install PySocks and mysql-connector-python, set the QUOTAGUARDSTATIC_URL environment variable, then follow the example app’s README.md to test locally before integrating into your real app. If it fails, Support can help debug.

Azure makes canceling QuotaGuard weird because the QuotaGuard resource page often has no delete action. The reliable workaround is to use All resources, find the QuotaGuard subscription in the list, select it using the checkbox (do not click into it), then delete it from the list view. If Azure changes the UI again, support can help. Credit to Dan Kroymann at RecRoom.com for the workaround.

QuotaGuard Dynamic IPs are meant to make Google Maps Geocoding API usable from platforms like Heroku by spreading requests across many proxy machines. That avoids OVER_QUERY_LIMIT from per-IP throttling until you hit Google’s daily cap (2,500 as of Nov 2013). But Google also rate-limits per second. If you exceed roughly 4 requests per second, you can still get temporary OVER_QUERY_LIMIT responses. The practical fix is retries with backoff, which usually shows up during bulk geocoding jobs (often a Ruby rake task). The example approach is: geocode each record, check whether it actually geocoded, and if not, sleep briefly and retry a few times. Caveat: the Ruby Geocoder gem does not reliably raise on failures, so the “not geocoded” check can trigger retries for bad addresses too.

We updated QuotaGuard inbound proxies to support the same load-balanced setup as our other proxies. Instead of a single static IP, load-balanced inbound proxies now use two static IPs behind a load balancer. What changes on your side: • Update IP allowlists to include both inbound proxy IPs (two addresses). • If you use a custom domain, switch DNS from an A record to a CNAME pointing at the provided hostname. Example: • dae5060e659305e4-us-east-1.getstatica.com allowlist: 10.10.10.1, 10.10.10.2 • test-inbound.quotaguard.com set as CNAME -> statica.quotaguard.com, allowlist: 10.10.10.1, 10.10.10.2 We can enable the load-balanced setup for your existing inbound proxy, or keep you on the prior single-IP setup.
