How do I allow Railway to communicate with an Azure Virtual Machine?
I have SQL Server hosted on an Azure VM, and I need to create a networking rule to allow communciation from Railway. Typically I do this by giving access to a specific IP address, and to the specific SQL Server port on the machine. How should I handle this with Railway?

railway does not have static ips, so giving azure vm a specific IP will just break things down the road, you would need to allow access to all connections
That's definitely not feasible or even an option I could entertain... dang, unfortunately I'm not going to be able to use Railway for my app deployment then. I just paid for the Pro plan as well for my organization. Thank you anyways.
well there is another option, whitelist like ~27 cidr names
https://utilities.up.railway.app/cidr-list?value=us-west1
*that's all GCP ip addresses in us-west1, other people can get a VM in GCP with an IP in there
yep, not a perfect solution by any means, but technically better than open to the entire www
Ok cool, thank you guys. This would be a pain to keep up with but it's definitely an option, I appreciate you for trying.
hopefully railway starts offering static ip's on pro soon
I know it's 100% planned, just no ETA
if static ips allow bot users, it would be super dope
i think ip banning is the only reason why it's not allowed
bot users?
yeah like non-official whatsapp api
i can't see that ever being allowed, it's non official for a reason
but why Railway would comply with other terms of service? doesn't make sense to me
+ the overhead of banning those peoples without any advantages
just doesn't wanna deal with anything that could potentially arise from someone using railway to misuse another service, limited to a static IP or not
i still don't see the disadvantage to Railway
I don't make the rules 🤣
let's go to #🎤｜chit-chat lol
Thanks fellas
