On September 1st 2024, synthetic Test Agents will default to dynamic IP addresses. With this change, Test Agents will use a range of IP addresses to access your Sites, rather than a single fixed IP address.
Agent web visits will continue to originate from fixed IPs for all Sites until September 1st 2024.
In preparation for this change, you can select fixed IP addresses for each Site from Test Agent settings. Fixed IPs remain available for all Sites, and you can switch between dynamic and fixed IPs at any time.

Fixed IP addresses are helpful if you have a web application firewall, rate limiting, analytics or other security measures that limit traffic from unknown IP addresses.
If you have any questions, or require help in switching existing sites to fixed IPs, please contact support, we’ll be happy to help.
