Allowlisting works in two directions: a partner allowlists your fixed proxy IP so your tools can reach their system, and we allowlist your own IP so you can use the proxy without a password. Both need an address that does not change.

**Quick answer — Can I use a static proxy IP for an IP allowlist?**

Yes, if the IP is dedicated and fixed: give the partner your proxy’s exit IP and send your traffic through it. **PinnedIP** rents dedicated US ISP IPs that stay the same for 30 days, from $2.03 (October 2026), and you can log in to them by password or by allowlisting up to 10 of your own IPs. No KYC; crypto.

## Direction 1: a partner allowlists your proxy IP

Use this when a supplier portal, a partner API or your company’s own admin tool only accepts known addresses, and your team works from changing home or travel connections.

1. Rent one dedicated IP ([buy one ISP proxy](https://pinnedip.com/buy-one-isp-proxy/)).
2. [Confirm it is static](https://pinnedip.com/guides/check-static-ip/) and note the exit IP.
3. Send that IP to the partner for their allowlist, with the rental end date.
4. Route only that tool’s traffic through the proxy (browser profile, script or app setting).
5. Renew before the end date. Renew from your balance before the end date to ask for the same IPs; keeping an IP depends on upstream stock, and the client area shows the result before you pay.

## Direction 2: we allowlist your IP to log in without a password

Use this when a tool cannot store proxy credentials. In your client area, add up to 10 of your own public IPs; connections from them are accepted without a username and password. Anyone else still needs credentials. Remove an IP from the list as soon as you stop using that connection.

## Why not use a shared or rotating IP for an allowlist?

- A **rotating** IP changes, so the partner would have to allow a whole range, which most refuse.
- A **shared** IP lets other customers of the same vendor through the partner’s allowlist. That is a security risk for the partner, and a reason to refuse it. See [dedicated vs shared](https://pinnedip.com/compare/dedicated-vs-shared-isp-proxies/).
- A **dedicated static** IP is one address used by you alone for the rental, which is what allowlists are designed for.

> **Margin note** Allowlist only systems you are authorized to use. Online banking, government and payment portals are blocked on every PinnedIP IP.

## What can go wrong, and how to plan for it?

- **The rental ends**: renew before the end date and keep the date in the partner’s ticket.
- **The IP fails**: a replacement IP has a different address, so the partner must update the list; give them two IPs from the start if downtime is costly.
- **The partner sees a consumer provider**: some security teams expect a business range; tell them it is a dedicated proxy IP and give the AS number from an [ASN lookup](https://pinnedip.com/guides/check-ip-isp-asn/).

## Allowlisting: FAQ

### How many IPs can I allowlist for proxy access?

Up to 10 of your own public IPs per account. Username and password, or an IP allowlist (up to 10 IPs).

### Will the partner see my real IP?

No: they see the proxy’s exit IP. We keep connection metadata for abuse handling; see the [privacy policy](https://pinnedip.com/privacy/).

### Should I give a partner two IPs?

If the integration is critical, yes: two dedicated IPs ($10.15 buys five) let you switch without waiting for the partner to update the list.
