Server domain names

Hi everyone,

We are going to equip a remote medics team with satellite connections so they
can send their forms directly from the field. As sat connectivity tends to be
expensive, we usually block everything and whitelist the few necessary domains
/ servers only.

Looking at CommCareODK settings I gathered this list:

Did I forgot something ?

Many thanks,

Charles

Hey Charles,

You'll need to make sure you're opening https://www.commcarehq.org. If
easier, the IP address is 184.106.20.213 (though that can change).
For a project I've done this for, we also opened access to the Google
Servers - this was to allow for application updates to CommCare. Opening
Whatsapp might also be useful, depending on how much communication you need
to do with the mobile teams.

fyi pact.dimagi.com is just a redirect to commcare hq and that's just a
legacy project support so fine not to worry about it.

definitely recommend using DNS and not IP since we do move our proxy
servers around.

Turns out that the sat equipment firewall has only IP-based filter rules… Does
Dimagi have a range a IP we could whitelist ?

Thanks,

Charles

Hey Charles,

We don't have a blanket list of IPs since we are on cloud hosting and
frequently spin up/down new machines (and are weighing the possibility of
changing host providers at some point in the future).

For now I would whitelist our main proxy server IP: 184.106.20.213 as well
as our failover: 50.57.29.63.

It is not common that we would change the setup, though it does happen. We
will try and keep this list informed if we are planning any infrastructure
changes in the future.

Fantastic, thanks Cory. Turns out that we are in talk with the sat equipment
companies to add a Domain Name filter in their firmwares, but there is no ETA
on their side…

Thanks again,

Charles

Dear Support,

Are these information still up to date?
We need to restrict mobile data to CommCare server addresses only.

Best regards,

Hi Macky M,

Thanks for asking. This information is no longer up to date. Since the original exchange in this thread, we have moved our servers, and www.commcarehq.org now points to 100.24.216.221.

@Charles_Fleche1 this may interest you as well.

Cheers,
Danny

Thank you Danny,

CommCare App will use this address to communicate with the server.

Right?

Yup, the CommCare App always talks to www.commcarehq.org, which for the time being (and the foreseeable future) is mapped to 100.24.216.221. Keep in mind as we mentioned above that this does change occasionally. For example has changed about twice in the last 4-5 years, though we don't foresee it changing again anytime soon.

Cheers,
Danny

Just wanted to follow up on this thread that www.commcarehq.org's IP addresses will change again shortly. See New IPs for www.commcarehq.org for more information.

For future updates on IP addresses, please watch the Managed Cloud Updates - CommCare Forum category.
