Hi,
We just recently licensed Perforce, which we are hosting on Railway. Unfortunately, and frustratingly, the Perforce licensing system requires a hardcoded MAC, IPV4, or IPV6 address. I'm aware that Railway changes all of these on each deployment, and this is usually a non-issue because of the awesome Railway proxy. Have you found any solutions to work around an issue like this?
Thanks,
Jaden

Perforce confirms with an IP of your connecting machine I assume? You can set a static outgoing IP address, I would think that would solve it?
Documentation can be found here: https://docs.railway.com/reference/static-outbound-ips
As stated, "This feature may be useful to you if you're using a third-party service provider or firewall which requires you to whitelist which IP addreseses"

That might just work! I need to roundtrip to Perforce to get a new license with a static IP. I'll report back if that ends up working.

Did you end up getting this resolved with Perforce?

Static IP didn't end up working since its outbound and I needed something inbound. I was able to get a license from Perforce with a CNAME, and then added a loopback of the CNAME to my server in etc/hosts which did the trick.
