We are toying with the idea of moving from using **SSE** to **WebHooks** for integration with our inhouse managed service.

SSE is using an **outbound** connection from us, whereas WebHooks is an **inbound** connection.

Our service uses the Haproxy load balancer.

There is no issue in our **production** and **staging** environments to accept inbound connections from anywhere (after all, they are public services!).

The issue for this ticket is that we need lock down **inbound** connections to our **development environment** as good security practice.

Is there an **IP address range** that we can specify for “particle webhook requests” for the purposes of **firewalling**?

Any other thoughts?

The outgoing webhook server list is not particularly static, so we don’t publish a list of those IP addresses. We spin up and down servers based on load, A/B testing, failover, what have you, so the IP addresses are subject to change without notice. And they’re not in a specific range or subnet.

@Rickkas7, no surprises there!

Will mark this as solved in that we have a clear answer.

Till next time!
