I have one azure function which call clients api.
Client want a azure function ip address to whitelist them in there api network so that my azure function can access there api.
I tried to give them all Outbound Ip Address I can get from azure function properties but i can see everytime im getting all new ip address.
How to get all possible ip address which i can give client to whitelist pls advice.
For production im using App Service Plan (S1: 1)
You can do this. There are different possibilities depending on the pricing tier. From not possible at all, to possible but may change, to possible and guaranteed that IP address will not change.
The bad news is that, possible and guaranteed that IP address will not change, requires using the isolated tier.
See: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/ip-addresses#dedicated-ip-addresses
I suggest you look into using service tags: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-network/service-tags-overview#available-service-tags

I have a Azure Traffic Manager over a geo distributed cloud service. I need to lock down my cloud services which are primarily web apis so that they are accessible to only a certain range or IP ADDRESSES. Is there a way to achieve this? Or may be there are ways to restrict IP addresses on cloud services. But with a combination of traffic manager on top of that would that work?Does traffic manager flow the source ip address to the cloud services?
Traffic Manager cannot filter traffic. It just responds to DNS queries from clients.
The source IP address will be the original one because the traffic doesn't go through Traffic Manager, it only tells the caller where to go, and the caller then calls your service directly.
Late to the party but: if you ended up using a whitelist on for example an Azure App Service than you will need to add the addresses of Traffic Manager as well. Otherwise Traffic Manager will not be able to check the health of your App and report it as degraded.
You can find it here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/traffic-manager/traffic-manager-faqs#traffic-manager-endpoint-monitoring
Direct link: https://azuretrafficmanagerdata.blob.core.windows.net/probes/azure/probe-ip-ranges.json
Also late to the party but we were restricting our App Services by IP address and all of a sudden our traffic managers started to display degraded after working fine for years. After lots of investigation we think that Azure added some new traffic managers that were on different IP addresses so they were getting blocked by our IP restrictions. The original restrictions had included a small range of IP addresses for the traffic manager but this list looks like its expanded. The best solution is to allow the traffic manager through, not based on its IP address buts its service tag as below :
Currently creating websites in Azure and was wondering if there was a way to create reserved static outbound ip addresses for those websites. I am not creating and loading the websites via virtual machines or cloud services, just directly through the Azure websites option in the Azure portal. I read that by default, a virtual ip per region for your subscription is supplied but We don't want to provide this ip address to whitelist. Can anyone please help point me in the right direction? Thanks.
This is currently not possible with Microsoft Azure.
The outbound IP will be one of the IPs in the datacenter. The list of IPs in the datacenter can be found here.
The good news is that Microsoft are planning to make this feature available soon.
Now its possible!!!
you can use App Service Environment(ASE)
App Service supports dedicated outbound IP addresses for apps deployed using the App Service Environment (ASE) feature.
For the forseeable future, apps running in the public multi-tenant service will continue to use outbound addresses from a shared address pool.
from Dedicate outbound ip
ASE is very costly :)
I've been trying to find an answer to this for a few days.
I want to host a new azure website in either the Basic tier or Standard tier.
The site will be calling a third party service.
I need to give this service provider an IP address that they will whitelist.
So when the new azure website makes requests to this service the IP address for the request needs to always be the same, as this will be the IP whitelisted.
I read that Azure offers "Reserved IPs" for cloud services and VMs but I wanted to know if something similar can be done with Azure Websites as I really don't want to go with cloud/VM.
My knowledge of networking is limited but as I understand it, if I were to get an IP SSL cert and apply that to my Azure Website then the website would have a static IP address.
If that is the case, would any requests to the third party service be hitting the service providers external firewall with this same static IP?
Thanks for any advice people can give.
An SSL cert with Web Sites will be tied to an inbound IP address. However, Web Sites does not provide a static outbound IP address.
If you need a static IP address to align with 3rd-party services, you'd need to have something residing in Azure (e.g. Application tier) running in a cloud service / VM that your web site accesses, and then have that app tier (with static IP address) communicate with your 3rd-party services.
As David Makogon's answer points out, applying an IP-based SSL certificate only gives the website a static inbound IP address.
However, the outbound IP address a website uses when making outbound network calls can be determined based on where your website is hosted. Microsoft has a list of the these IP addresses here. The third-party service would have to whitelist all of the IP addresses used by the scale unit your website is hosted in (e.g. waws-prod-am2-005).
Correct me if I am wrong, but the information shared by Brant Bobby above shows that, in fact:
All Azure websites (/Web Apps) already have a discoverable and published outgoing IP address.
This outgoing IP address will never be unique to their own site however. So one must keep in mind if they use it for a white-list, it will be allowing in a lot of other Azure visitors hosted on the same scale unit.
Simply get the so-called "scale unit" name for your site, which is the same as what's given in your site's FTP address (and so forth), which is in the format: "waws-prod-[3LetterVar]-[3DigitNum]", e.g. waws-prod-blu-007.
As an example from that article, all the East US region Azure websites can find the four IP addresses their site may rely on as follows (so if white-listing, all 4 should be white-listed):
East US Region
Outbound IP addresses for each scale unit, currently 4 for each. They said they may add more IPs to each scale unit in the future, but these should not change.

Azure now supports having static outbound IP address as well.
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/app-service-app-service-environment-intro/
If we do not want to go for costlier App Service Environment setup, we can directly use the outbound IP addresses mentioned in the Azure portal in properties section, Azure assures that it remain 99.9% static. Nothing really changes until there is some changes data center wide. Moreover, the reserved Ip what we use in IaaS is also not 100% reserved for us and azure provides SLA of 99.9% here as well. So, In my opinion, instead of going for ASE and hosting IaaS and using reserved IP, we can just use outbound Ip provided by azure, since we get same reliability in both cases.
I have a WebJob on an Azure Website that needs to connect to a VM Endpoint to make REST calls.
My Endpoint is configured to deny all except my company's IP range. Now what rule would I need to add or url should I use so my webjob can connect to the endpoint?
I have tried the following without success:
Allow my website virtual IP address in the ACL
Connect to the endpoint using the internal IP instead of the DNS without changing
the ACL
Connect to the endpoint using the public virtual IP instead
of the DNS without changing the ACL
This works but is not what I am looking for:
Remove the current ACL and allow all
Keep the ACL but add a /16 rule with my website IP
Thank you for your help, and let me know if you need precision!
I need the same thing but it seems as though is not possible right now. Looking at this answer on a related question:
Azure Web Sites do not have dedicated outbound IP addresses for each
deployment. This precludes you from using ACLs or Virtual Networks to
connect to your Redis / Solr virtual machines.
So even though you can have a (reasonably) fixed incoming IP address on Azure Websites, the outgoing address is highly unpredictable and as far as I can see, the only exclusion that you could make was to restrict it to the entire range of IP addresses for that data centre which is far from ideal.
A solution moving forward will be to connect your Azure Website and the VM on the same Virtual Network. As of my writing this it is still in Preview so it still is not ready for production use just yet.
