Static addressing
An address on the internet that does not move
Most connections are handed a public address that can change without warning. That is fine until something needs to find you from outside: a VPN, remote desktop access, a hosted phone system registering trunks, a mail server, or cameras you want to check from home. A static IP fixes the address so those things keep working, and so firewall rules written around it stay true.
- An address that does not change
- VPN and remote access that stay reachable
- Cleaner firewall and allow-list rules
- Larger ranges available where you need them
What needs a static address
VPN and remote access
Site-to-site tunnels and remote workers connect to an address that is still the same next month.
Hosted voice
SIP trunks and phone systems that authenticate by address, and call quality rules that depend on knowing where traffic comes from.
Anything you host yourself
Servers, remote desktops and applications that people outside the building need to reach.
Cameras and site equipment
CCTV, alarms and building systems you check remotely without hunting for a new address first.
Allow-lists that hold
Third parties and suppliers who restrict access by IP need one that does not change under them.
Ranges, not just one
A block of addresses where you are running several public-facing services from the same site.
