Regarding whitelisting public IPs

Web Performance Testing Tools/Services

Hi All

I would like to get public IPs of all Dulles Desktop and Mobile instances to whitelist those IPs in the firewall. How can I get it?

I see https://www.webpagetest.org/getTesters.php is showing only private IPs

Thanks
Rex

The Dulles agents all egress through the same server that runs the web UI: 72.66.115.14

It’s static and safe to rely on (hasn’t changed in ~8 years). It may change at some point in the future if I move hosting or upgrade to gigabit fiber but neither is expected to happen anytime soon.

An (admittedly hacky) way to get it is to run a test for one of the “what is my IP” pages and just look at the screenshot :wink:

Is this still the case? Has anything changed? We have some clients we use webpagetest to run mobile audits for, and an increasingly number of clients are blocking bots, want to find the best way to whitelist the webpage test user agent / bot / ip address, thanks!!!

Sorry, public instance IP changed a few weeks ago when the connection was upgraded. It is now 71.114.67.62 (and will be for the forseable future as I have no plans to do anything with the connectivity after the most recent upgrade).

And don’t ask me why Verizon couldn’t keep the same IP block for a connection to the same address - I gave up on trying to understand their back-end processes years ago (and yes, I asked since I had the previous IP pool for ~10 years).

Hi All,

I have a similar requirement, but want to run it via ‘Mumbai, India - EC2’ location.
Can anyone share the public IP for Mumbai, India - EC2 ?

Thanks

You can get all of the current external IP addresses from here: WebPageTest - Tester Status

That said, the EC2 agents are persistent spot requests so they may change from time to time as agents die and get re-created.

Thanks Patrick for the update.

Could you please confirm, if the public IP for Dulles has changed or is it the same as ‘71.114.67.62’. I shall use Dulles as my test location then.

Regards,
Nidhi

Yep, still the same. If there is every any doubt you could run a test from whatever location for the https://canihazip.com/ page and look at the IP address in the screenshot.
