Your own relay, one IP that stays yours
A private relay is a relay server for you or your team alone, with one fixed public IPv4 address. Allow-list that address once and your outpost reaches databases, servers and APIs that only let known addresses in.
For places that only let known addresses in
Many services check where a connection comes from before anything else. The shared relay’s address can change and is shared with other people, so you cannot allow-list it. A private relay’s address is yours alone and does not change while you keep it.
- A managed database firewall, like Postgres or MySQL in the cloud
- Your cloud firewall or security group, for SSH
- A client’s VPN or SSH bastion that allow-lists contractors
- Payment gateways and bank APIs with IP allow-lists
- Admin panels open to the office address only
How it works
We run a relay server for you in Singapore (more regions to follow) and give it one public IPv4 address. Your workspaces use it instead of the shared relay, so every connection to the internet leaves from that address. Nothing else about the outpost changes: the machine still runs on your device.
On Team, everyone on the team can go out through the same private relay, so one allow-list entry covers the whole team.

Questions
How do I get one?
Sign in, open Account and add a private relay. It works on Free, Pro and Team; without an account there is no relay of your own.
What does it cost?
$5 per month, added to your plan. Remove it any time; the address goes back when you do.
Which regions?
Singapore, with more regions to follow.
How is it different from private egress on Pro?
Private egress lets you pick the country your traffic leaves from, on shared relays. A private relay is a server of your own with one fixed address you can allow-list.
IPv4 or IPv6?
One public IPv4 address, which is what most allow-lists ask for.
Does my code run on the private relay?
No. As with the shared relay, it only carries your network traffic. The machine runs on your device.
