🇪🇺 Static IP for Clever Cloud — EU PaaS Outbound Proxy

🇪🇺 Static IP for Clever Cloud

Clever Cloud's own documentation warns that outgoing IPs are unpredictable and shared across all apps in a region. Get your own dedicated, fixed EU IP instead.

Terminal
# Set proxy env vars on your Clever Cloud app
$ clever env set HTTP_PROXY https://user:pass@eu-01.outboundgateway.com:8443
$ clever env set HTTPS_PROXY https://user:pass@eu-01.outboundgateway.com:8443

# Restart the app to apply
$ clever restart

# All outbound requests now use
# a single static EU IP address
[app] GET api.partner.com - 200 OK

The Problem

Clever Cloud's own documentation highlights the challenges with outbound IPs on their platform

Unpredictable Outbound IPs

Clever Cloud explicitly warns: "Clever Cloud may change these ranges at any moment while we expand our infrastructure." Your app's outgoing IP can shift without notice.

No Self-Service Static IP

Clever Cloud's Unique IP service costs €30/month, requires contacting support, and has no console UI. Their docs state: "This service does not appear in the Console at the moment."

Shared IP Ranges = Shared Risk

Allowing Clever Cloud's IP ranges means allowing every Clever Cloud app in that region to access your service. Their docs warn: "you should not base all that service security solely on filtering source IPs."

Third-Party Region IPs

Outside the Paris region, Clever Cloud uses OVHCloud, Scaleway, and Oracle Cloud IPs with no control over the ranges — making IP whitelisting even less reliable.

When a Partner Asks

"Provide the IP address that will access our API."

You need a stable, predictable answer — not a shared IP range that changes without notice.

The Solution

Use a Dedicated HTTPS Proxy with Static EU-Based IP

Clever Cloud App

HTTPS Proxy

How It Works

Your Clever Cloud app routes outbound HTTPS requests through your dedicated proxy. All requests originate from a single static EU IP. You whitelist that IP once. That's it.

Basic Setup for Clever Cloud

Set the HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY environment variables on your Clever Cloud app using the CLI or the web dashboard. This works with all Clever Cloud-supported runtimes.

# Option 1: Using the Clever Cloud CLI
$ clever env set HTTP_PROXY https://user:pass@eu-01.outboundgateway.com:8443
$ clever env set HTTPS_PROXY https://user:pass@eu-01.outboundgateway.com:8443

# Option 2: Using the Clever Cloud Console
# Go to your app > Environment variables
# Add HTTP_PROXY  = https://user:pass@eu-01.outboundgateway.com:8443
# Add HTTPS_PROXY = https://user:pass@eu-01.outboundgateway.com:8443

# Restart to apply
$ clever restart
