Google Cloud Static IP Integration for Cloud Run & App Engine
Bypass the complexity of Cloud NAT.
Give your Cloud Run and App Engine services a permanent identity.
Securely connect to firewalled databases and third-party partners without managing VPC connectors.
Serverless Scalability without the IP Headache
Google’s serverless platforms (Cloud Run, App Engine) use dynamic, shared IP pools by default. This makes it impossible to allowlist your traffic with security-conscious partners.
QuotaGuard provides a Dedicated Static IP entry point, allowing your serverless containers to authenticate with restricted third-party APIs and banking partners that reject unknown traffic.
Connect to Any Google Cloud Resource
From legacy SQL databases to modern REST APIs, our dual-protocol support handles every connection type.
For standard API integration, simply configure http_proxy environment variables in your app.yaml or Dockerfile. This instantly routes your outbound web requests through our load-balanced static IPs.
SOCKS5 Support
Standard HTTP proxies can’t handle raw TCP traffic needed for database connections.
Our SOCKS5 implementation allows you to tunnel directly to Cloud SQL, AlloyDB, or MongoDB Atlas instances, letting you allowlist a single IP on your database firewall instead of opening it to the world.
Language Agnostic
Because we utilize standard proxy protocols, QuotaGuard works natively with every major stack deployed on GCP.
Whether you are using Python (Requests), Node.js (Axios), Go, or Java, integration is as simple as setting your HTTPS_PROXY environment variable—no proprietary SDKs required.
Google Workflows Ready
Orchestrating complex tasks across different services often requires hitting endpoints behind firewalls.
You can easily route specific HTTP steps within your Google Workflows through QuotaGuard, bridging the gap between your modern serverless orchestration and restricted legacy systems.
Enterprise-Grade Google Cloud Networking
Maintain strict security and low latency with infrastructure designed to mirror your Google Cloud region. We allow you to provision proxies in regions that match your resources (e.g., us-central-1, europe-west-1).
This keeps your traffic within the same geographic hub, minimizing latency and ensuring optimal performance for critical data pipelines.
FAQs
Common questions about encryption, compliance, and security specifics.
No.
QuotaGuard completely replaces the need for Cloud NAT for outbound traffic. You simply route your traffic through our proxy URL, which acts as your static egress point.
This is often significantly cheaper and easier to manage than a full Cloud NAT deployment.
Yes.
Since Cloud Run and Cloud Functions support standard environment variables, you can simply add your QuotaGuard connection string (e.g., QUOTAGUARDSTATIC_URL) to your service configuration.
Your application code then uses this proxy for outbound requests.
Yes.
You can use our SOCKS5 proxy to tunnel traffic from your local machine or external application securely into a private Cloud SQL instance, provided you allowlist the QuotaGuard IP on the database's authorized networks.
QuotaGuard is highly available and does not suffer from cold starts. Our infrastructure is always running.
When your Cloud Run instance spins up from zero, the connection to our proxy is instant, ensuring no added latency to your initial request.
We operate with a "No Hard Stops" policy. We understand that spikes happen, so we will never cut off your service for exceeding your monthly limit.
Instead, we’ll reach out to discuss upgrading your plan only if the overage becomes a consistent trend.

Yes.
While our standard fleet is global, you can choose to provision your static IPs specifically in our EU region or US region.
This ensures that your traffic and metadata never leave the European Union, satisfying strict GDPR data residency requirements.

QuotaGuard SHIELD
Quotaguard has amazing customer service. Some of the best I've interacted with for B2B companies.
Whenever there are snags or setup issues, their support answers emails quickly and hops on zooms to debug with us.
Even with very little notice, they'll hop on zooms to debug. That is absolutely incredible.
Before I found QuotaGuard, I had tried to use Fixie Socks.
However, I couldn't get it to work even after downloading a separate library that they recommend (fixie-wrench). So I was relieved to find QuotaGuard.
The QuotaGuard team clearly cares about their product and their customers. I enjoyed my interactions with them, and their product seems reliable so far.
Overall a solid choice for Heroku/MongoDB Atlas builds.
Reliability Engineered for the Modern Cloud
