Why do I need to whitelist the LoadFocus IPs?
- LoadFocus spins up cloud instances on the fly to run your load or JMeter test, because of this we won’t know the IP addresses ahead of time.
- The approach is preferred in load testing and by our customers since it’s best to simulate load from many different locations at once as it gives us a more realistic test.
- Also this allows the load balancers as well to be exercised (load balancers use what is called round robin IP-based load balancing).
When is mandatory to whitelist the LoadFocus IPs?
- Case 1: When testing an application that is deployed behind a firewall, you will need to whitelist the LoadFocus IP addresses to allow the traffic to reach the application.
- Case 2: When the application is behind some load balancers and web application firewalls (including Cloudflare, Nginx, HAProxy) that have a DDoS protection feature that watches for a large flood of traffic from the same IP address, and blocks or throttles subsequent traffic from it.
