Hi,
We’re implementing your service right now and everything works very smooth. We want to implement the handling of callbacks, but our staging environment is ip-restricted. Does your service have an fixed ip(range) we could add to our whitelist so your callbacks can reach our staging-servers?
do you mean you want to implement notifications and let transloadit notify you sitting behind a router in your office? If that is the case, you could use a dynamic dns service and port forwarding on your router.
Alternatively you could (ha)proxy requests to your staging server so you only have to whitelist your proxy’s ip, and can have EC2 reach your proxy server which has no sensitive information on it.
Agreed. Maybe look into the redir program, it’s a little perl script that could set you up in <5 minutes.
I think haproxy could be be overkill for your needs and will at the very least take you longer to set up. Good luck and let me know if you have any troubles with that.
