IP whitelist

Adding an address#

1. 1

   Open the order

   My orders, then the ISP or datacenter order.

2. 2

   Find Connection settings, IP whitelist

   The field is already filled with the address we see you connecting from.

3. 3

   Add it, or type another one

   To whitelist a server, enter that server's public address, not your own. Add each address separately.

# From the server you want to whitelist: find its public address
curl https://api.ipify.org

# After adding it to the order, connect with no credentials at all
curl -x http://HOST:PORT https://api.ipify.org

How it behaves#

• The whitelist covers every proxy in the order.
• Only the exact address you added is let in without credentials. Everyone else can still connect with the username and password.
• IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are both accepted.
• Addresses can be removed at any time from the same place.

When it is the right choice#

• Servers with a fixed public address.
• Tools that cannot send a proxy password, such as Chrome started by Selenium with --proxy-server.
• Setups where you do not want credentials stored in configs.

It is the wrong choice for laptops, home connections and cloud functions whose address changes: the moment the address changes, the proxy answers 407.
