Fixie Socks
Static IP addresses for database requests and other TCP connections Starting at ~$0/hour.
Static IP Address
Route your outbound TCP requests through static IP addresses, making your app compatible with services such as databases, FTPs, and firewalls that require IP whitelisting.
Universal Compatibility
Establish any TCP connection over Fixie’s static IPs. Databases (including MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB), FTP servers, and AWS services are just a few examples of what Fixie’s SOCKS5 proxy can be used for.
SOC 2 Certified
Fixie is SOC 2 certified and GDPR compliant. Our security controls and operational practices are independently audited, making Fixie Socks easy to approve in enterprise security reviews.
Secure and Private by Design
Fixie Socks tunnels your TCP connections without inspecting them: TLS-encrypted connections remain encrypted end-to-end. We collect only essential operational metadata and never store the content of proxied traffic.
Low Latency
Fixie Socks operates in the same data centers as Heroku’s US and EU regions and is designed to proxy requests with minimal latency.
Detailed Logs and Usage Monitoring
The Fixie Socks dashboard provides real-time connection logs and weeks of usage history, making it easy to monitor your traffic and debug integrations.
No Code Changes with Fixie-Wrench
Our open-source Fixie-Wrench utility forwards a local port through Fixie Socks, so your app can reach remote databases and services from a static IP without code changes - even if your language or library doesn’t support SOCKS5 natively.
Easy Setup
Provision in 60 seconds. Fixie Socks provides a standard SOCKS V5 proxy that is easy to integrate into any application, regardless of language or framework. The Fixie Socks documentation includes code samples for various languages and services.
Take Your IPs With You
Your static IP addresses aren’t tied to a single platform. If your infrastructure ever changes, you can take your Fixie IPs with you to a different platform, as long as you continue subscribing to Fixie.
World Class Support
Need help integrating Fixie Socks with your application? Don’t hesitate to contact us. Fixie has provided static IPs to Heroku customers since 2015 and today supports over 5,000 customers of all sizes - from solo developers to large enterprises with professional support and fast response times.
Make Requests Through the Firewall
Many enterprises deploy services behind a firewall that only allows requests from fixed IP ranges. Fixie routes your TCP requests through a static IP address so your Heroku app can make requests to internal APIs, databases, and other services behind corporate firewalls.
