## Overview


If your FOSSA on-premises instance runs behind a firewall, you may need to allowlist FOSSA's public IP addresses so it can reach the FOSSA cloud services it depends on. This page lists the public IP ranges for each service.

{% callout type="warning" %}
FOSSA's cloud IP addresses are operational infrastructure and may change over time. Confirm the current values with your FOSSA account team before relying on them for long-lived firewall rules, and prefer allowlisting by hostname where your network allows it.
{% /callout %}

## `vulns.fossa.com` and `app.fossa.com`

```
52.223.16.182
35.71.190.183
44.238.207.42
44.238.247.59
44.226.239.166
```

The following IP addresses may be used in the future:

```
52.12.103.230
52.25.40.179
52.36.130.46
44.241.14.89
44.238.212.244
44.231.226.116
```

## AWS S3

The S3 IP space FOSSA uses is based in **us-west-2**. As of this writing, the range is `52.94.76.0/22`.

To confirm this is still valid, open [the AWS IP ranges feed](https://ip-ranges.amazonaws.com/ip-ranges.json) and find the entry in the `prefixes` array whose `region` is `us-west-2`.

Allowlist FOSSA's public IP ranges for vulns.fossa.com and app.fossa.com if your on-premises instance is behind a firewall.

Installing FOSSA On-Premises

On-Premises Deployment

Step-by-step onboarding paths for developers, security teams, and legal & compliance.

Install the CLI, analyze your first project, and wire FOSSA into CI so every pull request is checked automatically — no manual scans.

For Developers

Detect CVEs across your dependencies, set severity policies that gate builds, and focus on vulnerabilities that are actually reachable in your code.

For Security Teams

Surface license obligations per dependency, enforce policies that flag or block disallowed licenses, and produce audit-ready attribution reports automatically.

For Legal & Compliance

User Guides

Explore FOSSA products — compliance, security, quality, SBOM, and more.

License obligations, attribution, and policy enforcement for the open source in your code.

Compliance

Find, prioritize, and fix vulnerabilities across your dependencies.

Security

Code quality signals and dependency health monitoring.

Quality

Generate, aggregate, import, and share software bills of materials across the full SBOM lifecycle.

Product Guides

New to FOSSA? Import your first project, run a scan, and see results in minutes.

Create an account, import your first project, read the results, and automate future scans.

Your First Scan

Choose between Quick Import and the FOSSA CLI based on your build environment and accuracy needs.

CLI vs Quick Import

Get Started

Get your code into FOSSA — import projects from source hosts, the CLI, or CI, then configure how they're scanned and organized.

Analyze your code locally with the FOSSA CLI and upload the results, the most accurate and secure way to integrate.

Provide dependency data from your existing CI/CD environment for faster, more accurate FOSSA scans.

CI/CD Scanning

Block PRs that introduce new license compliance or security violations using FOSSA GitHub status checks.

Pull Request Checks

Automatically add a FOSSA license-scan status badge to your GitHub README when you import a project.

Badge Pull Requests

Scan Docker and OCI container images for open source license and vulnerability issues.

Containers

Find open source code copied into your codebase without being declared as a dependency.

Snippets

Connect GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or Azure Repos and scan hundreds of repositories in one click.

Quick Import

Import internal and firewalled projects into FOSSA with Broker, without sharing source-code access.

Broker

Decompose pre-compiled binaries and archives to identify open source components without source-code access.

Binaries

Import a CycloneDX or SPDX SBOM to run license and security compliance checks against its listed components.

SBOM Import

Inspect every dependency FOSSA detected, metadata, license status, filter options, custom licenses, and notice files.

Dependencies

Search, filter, and manage every package detected across all of your organization's projects from one place.

Package Inventory

Configure the title, branches, ignored dependencies, labels, VCS host, and visibility for an individual FOSSA project.

Project Settings

Exclude a specific package from your project's issue tracking and reporting.

Ignore a Dependency

Create and apply labels to organize projects and filter the dashboard by business context.

Project Labels

Keep FOSSA projects continuously scanned, re-analyze on every new revision and surface new license and security issues automatically.

Automatic Updates
