# **Static IP Address**

Enable a static IP address for outgoing webhooks to allow IP whitelisting.

## [Overview](#overview)

Webhook Relay provides a static outgoing IP address (**5.161.20.156**) for outgoing webhook requests. This allows you to whitelist this specific IP address in your receiving infrastructure, enhancing security and reliability.

## [Why use a static IP?](#why-use-a-static-ip)

- **Enhanced Security:** Restrict incoming connections to only known, trusted IP addresses.
- **Simplified Configuration:** Avoid the need to update IP whitelists if the underlying infrastructure changes.
- **Service Compatibility:** Some services require or recommend using static IPs for integrations.

## [Enabling static IP](#enabling-static-ip)

To enable the static IP feature for your webhooks:

1. Navigate to your [Buckets page](https://my.webhookrelay.com/buckets).
2. Either create a new Bucket or edit an existing one.
3. In the Bucket settings page, locate the **Static IP** option and toggle it on.

Once enabled, all webhook forwards configured within that Bucket will originate from the IP address `5.161.20.156`.

## [Important Considerations](#important-considerations)

- The static IP feature is configured on a per-Bucket basis.
- If integrating with a third-party service, consult their documentation for specific instructions on whitelisting IP addresses.
