# BF Server Proxy

## Overview

The BF Proxy can be used to provide a single known IP address to access a given database server. This allows IT professionals to tightly configure access control to their internal network. The current proxy IP is located in North America.

#### PROS

Dev Ops technicians can whitelist only one IP address from the FM BetterForms Cloud servers.

#### CONS

Some latency is added depending on your geographic location, this is generally small.

#### Specifications

Fixed IP Address is: <mark style="color:blue;">**`54.215.158.200`**</mark>

Port: <mark style="color:blue;">**`443`**</mark>

Proxy location: **AWS Data Center in Northern California.&#x20;**<mark style="color:red;">**`US-WEST-1`**</mark>

#### Configuring

*<mark style="color:orange;">The following is a temporary provision until the UI in the BF editor is built</mark>*

Add a new server or change currently used by the app. The host address for the server will be:

```bash
4yt4c3i6n7tndqe6732fsbgxhq0gsaim.lambda-url.us-west-1.on.aws/YOUR.SERVER.DOMAIN
```

Note: Change <mark style="color:red;">`YOUR.SERVER.DOMAIN`</mark> to point to the FQDN of your FileMaker server.
