Static Inbound and Outbound IPs for n8n Workflows

The complete network layer for n8n.

Shield your webhooks from inbound attacks and route outbound node traffic through a dedicated, verifiable identity.

From basic Static IPs to full HIPAA Shield compliance.

Security & Compliance Without Compromise

Ensure true End-to-End Encryption (E2EE) with SSL Passthrough to protect your most sensitive business data.

We route your traffic without ever holding the decryption keys, making it the only technical path for n8n users in regulated industries to satisfy stringent security audits.

True E2EE (SSL Passthrough)

Unlike standard proxies that decrypt your traffic, QuotaGuard Shield uses SSL Passthrough to maintain a secure tunnel.

‍The encryption handshake happens strictly between your partner and your n8n server; we route the traffic but never possess the keys to decrypt your payload.

HIPAA & PCI-DSS Compliance

By maintaining strict E2EE, Shield satisfies the technical safeguards required for HIPAA and PCI-DSS compliance.

‍Because we cannot decrypt the payload, your regulated data remains isolated from third-party exposure during every step of your automation.

No Data Retention or Logging

We operate with a strict No Data Retention policy to minimize your third-party risk profile.

We do not store traffic logs or inspect payloads, ensuring that your sensitive business logic and customer data remain private and off our servers.

FAQs

Answers to your technical questions about securing n8n egress traffic.

How do I configure n8n to use QuotaGuard globally?

If running n8n via Docker, simply pass the HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY environment variables with your QuotaGuard connection string in your docker-compose.yml file.

n8n will automatically route outgoing requests through our static IP.

Can I use this for the n8n Desktop app?

Yes.

You can configure the proxy settings within the desktop application or run a local tunnel (using qgpass) to route traffic from your local development environment through the static IP for testing.

Does QuotaGuard work with the n8n Cloud version?

Yes, for the HTTP Request node. You can manually configure the proxy settings inside the HTTP Request node on the n8n Cloud version.

However, for global environment variable injection, a self-hosted instance provides more control.

Can I connect to a Postgres database behind a firewall?

Yes.

Standard HTTP proxies cannot handle raw SQL traffic, but QuotaGuard includes a SOCKS5 proxy.

You can use our local tunnel wrapper to route your n8n Postgres node traffic securely into your firewalled database.

Can I use this to crawl sites like LinkedIn or Instagram?

No.

QuotaGuard is an infrastructure connectivity tool designed for reliability, not a rotating proxy pool for anonymity.

We do not support web scraping of consumer platforms that block cloud traffic.

Will using a proxy slow down my high-volume workflows?

Our infrastructure is designed for low latency.

By choosing from one of our 10 global regions (US-East, EU-West, etc.) that matches your n8n hosting location, the latency overhead is negligible (typically <20ms), even for high-volume execution.

How do I debug connection issues in n8n?

If a node fails, you can check the QuotaGuard dashboard for real-time traffic logs.

This will confirm if the request reached our proxy and if it was rejected by the destination server (e.g., a 403 Forbidden vs. a connection timeout).

Do I need a separate static IP for production and development?

We highly recommend it, most of our engineering teams practice this security measure to protect their production IP identification to outside parties.

Using separate QuotaGuard subscriptions (or users) for Dev and Prod ensures that testing data never accidentally pollutes your production databases or API logs.

Please Contact Us if you need help with setting up one paying subscription with both production, staging, and development environments.
