# How to get fixed egress IP addresses for Pipedream workflows

## The problem

To query a Postgres database or any firewalled service from a Pipedream workflow, you need to whitelist the IPs the requests come from. Pipedream did not publish a list of egress IPs for regular workflows, which blocked corporate adoption where security groups only allow single whitelisted IPs.

## The verified fix

Pipedream implemented virtual private clouds for Business customers: you create a dedicated VPC in your workspace and run specific workflows in it, and the VPC gets a unique egress IP you can whitelist on your firewalls. Docs are at pipedream.com/docs/workflows/vpc.
