No action is required if you are not using a Silktide proxy or do not require IP whitelisting.
We're introducing a new proxy solution that changes the dedicated IP addresses Silktide previously used.
This article will guide you through how to migrate from the old proxy solution to the new.
Step 1: Check if you need to take action
If you rely on the UK (London) proxy to provide a fixed IP address for the Silktide checker, for example to bypass firewalls, you’ll need to continue reading this guide.
To see if this impacts you, you can:
Navigate to your website settings area inside Silktide.
Select the
Advancedoption in the Website Settings sidebar.Check the “Proxy location” field shows
UK (London).
If it does not, no further action is required.
Example:
Step 2: Remove old IPs from your whitelist
If any of these 4 IP addresses are present in your whitelists, you should remove them:
5.79.18.74
5.79.18.73
5.79.0.55
31.222.180.209
Step 3: Update your whitelist
We're offering two new proxy options:
EU (Dublin), which uses the following IP addresses:
52.18.199.206
52.209.191.79
US (Ohio), which uses the following IP addresses:
52.14.69.69
18.224.35.114
If you're in the US region, we recommend choosing the US (Ohio) proxy. If you're using our EU region, choose the EU (Dublin) proxy.
Choosing the right option for your region can provide speed benefits for the website scanner.
Step 4: Set your proxy in Silktide
Update the Proxy location setting in Silktide with your chosen proxy.
Navigate to the websites settings inside Silktide for any website needing to use the new proxy solution.
Select
Advancedfrom the Website Settings sidebarUpdate the field “Proxy location”
Select “Save”
Repeat for all websites in your account that use this proxy.
