By using a Heroku Static IP service like QuotaGuard Static or QuotaGuard Shield, you are provided with a load balanced set of static IP’s to route either inbound or outbound traffic through to your desired destination.
There is no server setup or ongoing maintenance required.
All you need to do is configure your app to direct your inbound or outbound traffic through our provided proxy server. We handle the high availability, the fail-over requirements, proxy maintenance, and the load balancing for you.
Both Heroku Static IP QuotaGuard products are available on the Heroku Add-Ons marketplace, where you can configure your QuotaGuard Static IP address to your app, in one click, with no need to change the core of your code.
Over the past few days, Michael and Tim troubleshooted my QGTunnel connection. Though the problem ended up being on my side, they were careful, understanding, and empathetic. They responded within 30 minutes of each email I sent, while I expected at least a couple of hours. Tim was even kind enough to go through my Heroku project to find potential bugs that could’ve caused my issue.
I’ll continue working with/recommending QuotaGuard to anyone using Heroku to connect to a DB with allow-listed IPs.

The primary benefit of using Heroku as your app platform is Heroku’s horizontal scalability, however, what if you need to :
Heroku does not provide Static IP addresses in the Common Runtime Environment. In Heroku Private Spaces, which costs thousands of dollars a month, Static IP’s are available, but they aren’t load balanced, run on dedicated proxies, or highly customizable.
Tp allow-list protected resources, access restricted databases, or integrate with 3rd party API’s, you are going to need to use a hosted Heroku Static IP provider, like QuotaGuard.
Heroku’s QuotaGuard Static IP solution routes your traffic through a pair of static IP addresses that never change. It should be used if you need your traffic to pass through a known IP address for the purpose of firewall ingress rules or application allow-listing with a third party.
QG Static uses HTTP and SOCKS5 for outbound service and SSL Termination for inbound service.
Check out QuotaGuard Static on HerokuHeroku’s QuotaGuard Shield Static IP solution is HIPAA compliant and built to handle traffic that contains PII and other sensitive information. QG Shield routes your traffic through a pair of static IP addresses that never change with a higher level of security over QuotaGuard Static.
QG Shield uses HTTPS for outbound service and SSL Passthrough for inbound service. Like QuotaGuard Static, QuotaGuard Shield should be used if you need your traffic to pass through a known IP address for the purpose of firewall ingress rules or application allow-listing with a third party. Shield allows you to utilize Heroku’s ACM for your site or bring your own certificate, like from Let’s Encrypt.
