Are the static IPs on Pro plan also used on TCP connections?

So we've migrated to the Pro plan because we need a static IP so our services can be whitelisted by a customer's DB. But to our surprise, our service is receiving a connection timeout even though the service is already whitelisted.

So I tried connecting to the service manually to check things manually:

  1. The IP when running curl -s ipinfo.io/ip in the shell matches the static ip from our service.
  2. Running sqlcmd manually through this same shell will also result in a denied connection (timeout).

The only conclusion I could reach is that the IP is not used when connecting via TCP, but I couldn't find this specification in the documentation.

OBS: And of course, when running the service or the sqlcmd through a local whitelisted IP it works as intended, so it's a problem related to our railway environment.

OBS2: Also, I asked our customer to check again if the IP is correctly set on their system and I am currently waiting for a response while I am writing this ticket.

Outbound IPs are used for ANY outbound traffic, be that HTTP, TCP, UDP, etc

So yeah, this is something on the external database side of things that is dropping the packets, leading to a timeout.
