How do you get a static IP Address?
anyone here has had success working around the lack of a static IP using third-party proxies or tunneling services? I’m trying to integrate something that needs whitelisted IPs and wondering if others found a workable solution or if things have changed since last year.
I just had a similar issue when I needed a consistent IP for connecting to a secure API from my Wix app. I ended up using residential proxies https://infatica.io/residential-proxies/ because they gave me stable IPs that looked like real users, which helped avoid blocks or verification problems. Plus, they weren’t rotating all the time, so I could keep a fixed connection for a while without issues.
Everything in my head that is associated with IP addresses is proxy servers. Like you buy a proxy specifically to change your IP address.
Basically, that’s a correct comparison. You buy proxies and they give you a different ip address. You don’t change your internet connection, you just use an intermediate server. That’s the main function of proxies. And overall, proxies are used by a lot of specialists now, for example for testing strategies https://infotopbio.com/2025/11/18/what-makes-italy-a-special-case-for-geo-testing-in-2025/ across different markets and audiences. Proxies are now an essential work tool, including for scraping, testing, advertising, and so on.
