Bubble.io Integration Static Inbound & Outbound IPs

Give Your Bubble Apps a Fixed Identity for Inbound & Outbound Traffic

Stop paying for a $3,000/mo Dedicated plan just for a Static IP.

QuotaGuard provides a load-balanced pair of permanent Static IPs for both egress (outbound) and ingress (inbound) traffic. Bridge the security gap between your Bubble shared cluster and strict enterprise firewalls without the Enterprise price tag.

Administrative & Technical Safeguards

Bubble’s shared clusters utilize ephemeral AWS nodes where outbound requests originate from a rotating pool of thousands of dynamic IP addresses.

Note: QuotaGuard is purpose-built to connect Bubble infrastructure to IP-restricted B2B resources like SQL databases, government internal APIs, and secure payment gateways. This solution is strictly for legitimate business integrations and not for web scraping or abusive traffic.

Bubble-Specific Native Configuration

QuotaGuard is engineered to work directly within the constraints of the Bubble.io editor.

API Connector Header Authentication

Route outbound HTTPS requests by adding your QuotaGuard credentials directly to your Shared Headers in the API Connector.

This "native-first" setup uses standard HTTP Basic Auth (Authorization: Basic <credentials>) to secure your proxy tunnel instantly.

SQL Database Connector Compatibility

Bridge your private MySQL, PostgreSQL, or Microsoft SQL Server instances via our SOCKS5 proxy tunnel.

Simply enter your QuotaGuard connection string into the Connection String field; Bubble handles the encryption, and our proxy handles the whitelisting.

Low-Latency Region Matching

Bubble hosts shared clusters primarily in AWS US-East-1 (N. Virginia).

Co-locate your QuotaGuard gateway in this same data center to ensure ultra-low latency (typically under 10ms), helping you stay within Bubble’s strict 30-second API timeout limit.

FAQs

Technical answers for routing Bubble.io applications through a dedicated static IP.

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

Bubble uses a dynamic, globally distributed architecture where traffic originates from rotating pools of AWS IP addresses.

QuotaGuard solves this by adding a dedicated proxy layer that stays constant even as Bubble's underlying infrastructure scales.

How do I bypass the 30-second API Connector timeout for long-running processes?

Bubble enforces a self-imposed 30-second hard timeout for external API calls made within frontend or backend workflows.

For modern AI "Agentic" workflows or deep-data processing that exceeds this window, standard requests will terminate with an ESOCKETTIMEDOUT error.

The Solution: Recursive Workflows & Co-location

Recursive Loops
: Instead of a single massive request, utilize Recursive Backend Workflows to iterate through tasks sequentially. Because recursive workflows schedule themselves for the future, they can effectively run indefinitely and are not subject to the same termination logic as a standard "Schedule on a List" action.

Bypassing the 300-Second Wall: While a single workflow action is capped at 300 seconds (5 minutes), a recursive loop resets the clock for each iteration. QuotaGuard is architected to maintain the stable, persistent outbound connections required for these multi-minute recursive processes without dropping the proxy tunnel.

Co-location Benefits: By co-locating your QuotaGuard gateway in the same region as your Bubble cluster (typically us-east-1), you eliminate the network "hop" latency that often pushes a 28-second process over the 30-second timeout cliff.

Is it possible to whitelist Bubble for an Azure SQL or AWS RDS database?

Yes.

Standard firewalls on Azure and AWS RDS reject "Allow All" rules as a major security risk.

Instead of whitelisting the entire internet, you route your Bubble SQL Connector through QuotaGuard and whitelist only your two assigned static IPs in your database's firewall rules.

How do I handle secure inbound webhooks from partners like Stripe or Plaid?

Stripe and other enterprise services often require a single, static destination IP for webhooks. QuotaGuard Shield acts as a Static Inbound Proxy (Reverse Proxy).

You point your webhook provider to your QuotaGuard Static IP, and we securely forward that traffic to your dynamic Bubble endpoint.

Can QuotaGuard help make a Bubble app HIPAA or PCI compliant?

Yes.

Since Bubble won't sign a BAA on shared plans, you must ensure data is encrypted before it touches their logs.

Our Shield tier uses SSL Passthrough, meaning your PHI/PII remains encrypted from your source database all the way to your API partner, never being decrypted on our servers.

Does using a proxy affect Bubble's performance or server capacity (App CPUs)?

Negligibly.

Routing through a proxy in the same region (e.g., us-east-1) typically adds less than 10-15ms of latency.

Because our gateways handle the heavy lifting of connection pooling and SSL handshakes, it can actually reduce the CPU load on your Bubble app by stabilizing external connections.

Is QuotaGuard cheaper than a Bubble Dedicated Instance?

Significantly.

Bubble Dedicated plans start at $3,000/month. QuotaGuard allows you to maintain the flexibility of a standard Bubble Starter plan ($32/mo) while adding enterprise-grade static IP functionality for just $19/mo.

You get the same security results for a fraction of the cost.
