I wanted to access my web app hosting in App Service through IP Address

Question

I wanted to access my web app hosting in App Service through IP Address

Ali Avais 0

My web application is hosted in azure app service. Now I have purchased SMS services by using which i will be sending out the SMS but the SMS provider allows IPs which I will ask them to allow.

Now i am trying to access my app through public IP so that I can share that IP with them. I have configured custom domain bindings and SSL Certificate and i am able to access my app through custom domain. But still i am unable to access it through public IP. Is it possible to access it through public IP?

@Ali Avais Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A,

Is SMS service is accessing the webapp or your webapp is accessing the SMS? If the SMS is accessing the webapp then you should access the webapp through domain name not through IP.

If webapp is accessing the SMS then you should add/whitelist the outbound Ip of the webapps.

Hello @Ali Avais

Unfortunately it is not possible to access App Service through IP Address.
App Service is sharing infrastructure with other App Services being deployed in that same region, so there are effectively multiple apps sharing a pool of IP addresses.

When a request comes in to an IP address with no hostname, the system will not know where to route it.

I assume you are going to send SMS from your App Service and you need to know outbound IP addresses.
You can get them in App Service settings

There are other Azure services you can utilize to expose your App Service instance via a static public IP address, like https://cloudblogcenter.com/2022/06/05/configure-static-outbound-ip-address-for-azure-app-service/ but note that it comes with a higher cost.
