Some of my projects in my firebase account are blocked by ip address in my country. I guess thats was happened, in case of blocking some google resources that uses same ip address. For now, i have website in my firebase account: oneday.tv. Its domain name has ping for: 199.36.158.100. I can access to it only through vpn. Some projects in same firebase account works ok, because they has different ip. In firebase support told me, that it's the reason of government decision. Can i change ip address for existing projects in my firebase console or google cloud console? Even if i tried to create brand new firebase project, its gets this ip address 199.36.158.100. May be there is a way to get another ip address for new project?
Unfortunately no. The reason you are getting the same IP address is that address is the Google Frontend's IP address. You cannot change that.
You would need to switch to a service that supports external IP addresses such as Compute Engine. However, you cannot select a specific address, just the one Google selects from an available address pool, so it is a coin toss if that address would be blocked.

I'm currently using firebase hosting with my default domain.
Is there a way to check if the IP address associated with this domain is a static IP address?
thank you very much.
I looked up her IP on an IP address lookup service and it pointed to the same her IP address for several days.
I checked the firebase hosting reference, but there was no explanation about the default domain.

Edit: #pregum_fox (the OP) added in the comments below that when they contacted Firebase Support directly, the team confirmed that all *.web.app and *.firebaseapp.com domains will resolve to the same IP address - which at the time of writing is 199.36.158.100, a Fastly edge server. Custom domains will use a different edge server identified in the Firebase Console.
Original content:
If it's not documented, it likely isn't - or at least, is not guaranteed to be.
The only time an IP address linked with your Firebase Hosting site should not change (without being advised), is when you've connected it to a custom domain. This is because the IP address you register as the A record for your custom domain must remain the same to work properly. If it changed often, using a custom DNS would be pointless.
I need to access some external API from my Firebase cloud function.
However, they need me to add my server IP to their IP Whitelist. Do I have the possibility to get the external IP address of a firebase cloud function?
P.S: an IP identification website give me 216.239.36.54 as the address. Is It right?
Cloud Functions are automatically provisioned and unprovisioned as requests are made to them, so they are not on a fixed IP address. If you wait 15 minutes, you might get a different IP address, and if you get many users they will be served from multiple different IP addresses.
The external API will need to allow access from the entire range of IP addresses that Cloud Functions may use. Alternatively, the documentation suggests that you can associate function egress traffic with a static IP address. Note that this last option seems non-trivial to me from a quick scan of the documentation.

I'm developing an integration with an API which requires to whitelist customers based on IP addresses. I can easily get outbound IP from Production environments such as Azure or AWS and get those whitelisted.
How can I configure it for my desktop whose public IP keeps on changing after every few hours?
Getting a fixed IP address for your home computer is dependant on your internet provider. Sometimes they offer fixed IPs for 'Business' customers only or such.
Another solution might be to stand up an OpenVPN instance in your cloud then only whitelist that IP address and your expected partner prod addresses. Then you just connect to your VPN to access your API, you can do this from anywhere as your only dependant on the IP address of the cloud OpenVPN instance.
This solution also scales with your development as you only need to add new OpenVPN users to let other developers work with you and don't need their ever changing IP addresses.
I found an easy solution from NordVPN. It has an option to get a dedicated IP VPN :)
I have a hardcoded DDNS URL in an application that I can no longer modify the code for. It currently points to a server using its IP address and I'm trying to move over to Firebase.
My problem is that I need to update the DDNS URL with an IP address but I've only got a hosting URL like https://myapp-123q4.firebaseapp.com/.
My understanding is (from this Google Groups post) that because the entire system is shared, there are some specific IP addresses that can be used. Is there any way to access my own firebase hosting URL using an IP address?
(Pinging my firebase URL gave me the IP 151.101.1.195 which is one of the ones mentioned on the above linked post.)
You should not depend on direct IP addresses for accessing Firebase Hosting. There are simply not enough IPv4 addresses available for everyone to have exclusive access to one. You need to use the host name in the HTTP request so that the server can route the request to the correct content.
Im building out an Azure hosted website, but it needs to reach into our home office to connect to some internally hosted web services. Our firewall is setup to only allow traffic over certain IP's, so we're looking to determine what IP range we need to allow access to.
Currently I'm still using the MSDN "Free" Azure subscription, so I don't know what options may be limited, but is there a way I can determine what source IP, subnet, whatever my Azure hosted site will attempt to call my web services from?
Thanks!
Be careful opening your firewall to the entire Azure datacenter IP ranges. Anybody can host anything in Azure, including malicious software, so if you open your firewall to the entire Azure IP range you may as well just open to 0.0.0.0-255.255.255.255 because in effect you are getting the same security.
A better option is to deploy your service and just whitelist that one IP address. That IP address is guaranteed to remain the same until you delete your service. With the ability to do in-place upgrades and VIP swaps there should be no reason why you would need to delete your hosted service and lose your IP address. If you ever do run into a scenario where you need to delete/redeploy you can always update your firewall at that time.
It sounds like this is what you're looking for:
