Hi,
I have set up a workflow to export data to MongoDB, which works great. I need to perform the same task to push data to a site-hosted SQL instance. I have whitelisted a range of IP addresses from Google User Content, but we still periodically see errors returned as the IP address changes and so the query is blocked by the firewall. I also tried looking at what the fully qualified domain name should be but can’t get this to work either.
Is there any specific method I should be following to allow this access from Losant to the database?
@David_Alderson I’ll PM you instructions on how to retrieve our IP addresses.
Hi Dylan, we are securing our external database based on incoming IP-addresses of Losant. Can you please send me instructions how to identifiy the IPv4 addresses of your platform? Thanks.

You can retrieve Losant’s outbound request IP addresses by performing a DNS lookup against the domain outbound.losant.com - for example, by running the following command on a *nix-based system …
nslookup outbound.losant.com
These IP addresses are subject to change - however, it is rare that they actually do. We recommend building your solutions in a way that they are resilient to unexpected changes to these IP addresses.
Thanks for fast reply. For firewalls we still rely on hard coded IP-addresses.
