We’re pleased to announce the Beta launch of our Inbound service which allows you to access your website via a Static IP address. This allows you to access web applications running on dynamic cloud platforms like Heroku, Gigalixir, or GCP from within a corporate environment with strict firewall controls.
How it works
Once you have created a QuotaGuard Static account you just need to enter in the base URL of your web application.
We then create for you a unique URL that you can use to access your web application: e.g. a62b1d0b4983db763450411fd393b3ce-eu-west-1.getstatica.com.
This corresponds to a DNS A name record that resolves to one of your two QuotaGuard Static IPs. You should include both IP addresses in any firewall rules or allow-lists as we may swap between IP addresses at any time.
Open this URL in your browser and you should see your own web application.
In your firewall you can now just open access to the two QuotaGuard Static IPs in order to work with your cloud app.
QuotaGuard Static provides inbound (reverse proxy) on a dedicated, static IP. Upload your PEM certificate in the dashboard, point your custom domain CNAME to <hash>.getstatica.com, and configure nginx TLS termination at your origin. Traffic arrives at QuotaGuard's static IP, is routed to your origin via the reverse proxy, and returns encrypted. Static inbound is ideal for IP allowlisting scenarios.
