Static IP Address Solution

Static IP Solution

Decentro APIs come with a pre-requisite of having valid static IP addresses when going live on Production. This might be challenging for clients who are using auto scaling, server less or similar infrastructure.

A suggested solution is to use forward proxy servers. We have used two such open source battle tested servers, Tinyproxy and Squid Proxy. The setup tutorials for these two servers are listed below
