Dear Railway Support Team,
I am writing to request the enablement of a fixed outbound IP address for my project. We need this static IP to establish a secure connection to a MySQL instance hosted on AWS.
Project ID: 5109ff95-ff3f-476e-a3d8-00c036c4e3e8
Please let me know if any further information is required to process this request.
Best regards,

How to setup a static outbound IP Address for your Railway project
If you want to set up a static outbound IP address for your project you will need to upgrade your Railway Pricing Plan from Hobby Plan to Pro Plan. Why? Because this feature is only available to Pro Plan users.
Upgrade Railway Plan from Hobby Plan to Pro Plan
- Login to your Railway account.
- Click your profile avatar in the top right corner.
- Select Account Settings.
- Select Plans in the left tab.
- Scroll down and click Upgrade to Pro.
- Click Upgrade now $20. Your account will be upgraded from Hobby Plan to Pro Plan.
Set up the Static outbound IP Address
- Click the Railway logo in the top left corner to get to your Projects Dashboard.
- Select the project you want to have a static outbound IP address.
- Select your desired service in your project canvas.
- Select the Settings tab.
- Scroll down to the Networking section.
- Look for Static Outbound IPs.
- Toggle the
Enable Static IPsswitch. You will be presented with an IPv4 address tied to the region your service is deployed in. - Click Deploy and wait for your service to rebuild and be deployed with the new settings.
- Copy the IP address then use it for your application. For example: Connecting to a MySQL instance hosted on AWS.
