Give your Scaleway applications a dedicated static outbound IP address located in the European Union. Whitelist once. Stay compliant. Keep your infrastructure simple.
import os
import requests
# Load from environment variables
PROXY_HOST = os.environ.get("PROXY_HOST")
PROXY_PORT = os.environ.get("PROXY_PORT", "8443")
PROXY_USER = os.environ.get("PROXY_USER")
PROXY_PASS = os.environ.get("PROXY_PASS")
# Construct proxy URL
proxy_url = f"https://{PROXY_USER}:{PROXY_PASS}@{PROXY_HOST}:{PROXY_PORT}"
proxies = {'https': proxy_url}
# Make request through proxy
response = requests.get('https://api.partner-service.com/secure-endpoint', proxies=proxies)
When running workloads on Scaleway, managing outbound IP addresses is harder than it should be
Payment providers, banking APIs, enterprise SaaS systems, and B2B partner APIs all require IP whitelisting for security.
Scaleway instances scale up and down. Outbound IPs change with infrastructure. API providers reject unknown source IPs.
Custom networking, VPC routing adjustments, and cloud-specific workarounds add unnecessary complexity to your infrastructure.
European businesses need infrastructure that aligns with GDPR expectations and keeps data within EU jurisdictions.
"Provide the IP address that will access our API."
You need a stable, predictable answer.
Scaleway Application
HTTPS Proxy
(Static EU IP)
External API
The external API sees one fixed EU IP address — every time.
Fast-growing European companies needing reliable API access with compliance
Financial services requiring EU-hosted infrastructure for regulatory compliance
Business software integrating with enterprise APIs that require IP whitelisting
Large organizations with complex API partnerships requiring static outbound IPs
Your application runs on Scaleway. Outbound HTTPS requests are routed through your dedicated proxy. All requests originate from a single static EU IP. You whitelist that IP once. That's it.
Configure your Scaleway application with environment variables. This works with any Python-based application.
import os
import requests
# Environment variables (load from .env or secrets manager)
PROXY_HOST = "eu-01.outboundgateway.com"
PROXY_PORT = "8443"
PROXY_USER = os.environ["PROXY_USER"]
PROXY_PASS = os.environ["PROXY_PASS"]
# Configure proxy
proxy_url = f"https://{PROXY_USER}:{PROXY_PASS}@{PROXY_HOST}:{PROXY_PORT}"
proxies = {'https': proxy_url}
# Your Scaleway application makes API calls
response = requests.get('https://api.example.com/endpoint', proxies=proxies)
print(response.json())📖 Complete Documentation: For detailed examples, error handling, and advanced configurations, see our Python SSL Proxy Guide.
When your partners care about where traffic originates, location matters.
Your proxy infrastructure is hosted entirely in the European Union, ensuring data remains within EU jurisdictions.
Designed for GDPR-conscious environments with data handling practices that align with European privacy regulations.
Traffic is routed entirely within EU infrastructure. No detours through US-based servers that could complicate compliance.
One static IP address provides clear outbound identity for compliance audits and partner requirements.
| Approach | Complexity | Cloud Lock-in | Time to Setup |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scaleway Public IPs | High | Scaleway-only | Hours |
| Custom NAT Gateway | Very High | Scaleway-only | Days |
| Manual Firewall Rules | Medium | Scaleway-only | Ongoing |
| HTTPS Static Proxy | Low | Cloud-agnostic | Minutes |
One fixed IP for all API requests. Whitelist once, use forever.
Scaleway instances, local dev, CI/CD. Same static IP across all environments.
Set HTTPS_PROXY environment variable.
No NAT gateway configuration. No routing table changes. No VPC modifications.
End-to-end TLS encryption. Your API keys stay secure.
Retry logic and error handling. Session management included.
Stop managing cloud networking just to satisfy API allowlists. Start using a dedicated, EU-based static IP today.
