Is there a way to assign a static IP to a particular Background Service?
I have a background service that maintains a WebSocket connection to a public service.
Services like QuotaGuard don’t suit my use case because they’re generally designed for HTTP traffic and not long-running connections.
I’m not able to identify you from your email here to give you a concrete answer.
If you’re using our Oregon region and are an older Render customer then it’s not possible. If you’re using any other region or a newer Render customer then traffic originating from that region will exit on a group of IPs (visible in the ‘connect’ tab in dashboard) that are shared across customers in the same region.
Maybe you misunderstood my question: is it possible to assign a static IP (of our choice) to a particular service?
Platforms like Discord and Twitch actively throttle and deny requests when they think they’re being spammed, which can happen when using shared infrastructure like Render.com.
