🇪🇺 Static IP for Scalingo — EU PaaS Outbound Proxy

🇪🇺 Static IP for Scalingo — EU PaaS Outbound Proxy

Give your Scalingo apps a dedicated static outbound IP address in the European Union. Whitelist once. Integrate with confidence. Keep your apps running.

Terminal
# Set proxy env var on your Scalingo app
$ scalingo env-set HTTPS_PROXY=https://user:pass@eu-01.outboundgateway.com:8443

# Restart the app to apply
$ scalingo restart

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

The Problem

When running apps on Scalingo, managing outbound IP addresses is harder than it should be

External APIs Require IP Allowlisting

Payment providers, banking APIs, CRMs, and B2B partner services all require IP whitelisting. Your Scalingo apps need a consistent outbound IP to reach them.

Scalingo Outbound IPs Are Dynamic

Scalingo routes requests through shared infrastructure. Outbound IPs change with container restarts, scaling events, and region changes. API providers reject unknown source IPs.

App Failures Due to IP Changes

When Scalingo rotates IPs, your API calls fail silently. Integrations break. Webhook deliveries get blocked. Manual IP whitelist updates across multiple providers are error-prone.

EU Companies Need GDPR-Aligned Infrastructure

Scalingo is French, hosted in EU data centers. European businesses need outbound proxy infrastructure that aligns with the same regulatory requirements.

When a Partner Asks

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

You need a stable, predictable answer for your Scalingo apps.

How It Works

Your Scalingo app runs in containers. 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.

Basic Setup for Scalingo

Set the HTTPS_PROXY environment variable on your Scalingo app using the CLI or the web dashboard. This works with all Scalingo-supported runtimes and buildpacks.

# Option 1: Using the Scalingo CLI
$ scalingo --app my-app env-set \
    HTTPS_PROXY=https://user:pass@eu-01.outboundgateway.com:8443

# Option 2: Using the Scalingo Dashboard
# Go to Environment > Add variable
# Name:  HTTPS_PROXY
# Value: https://user:pass@eu-01.outboundgateway.com:8443

# Restart to apply
$ scalingo --app my-app restart
