Thread Starter – Rajesh87:
My broker requires a static IP for API trading, but my ISP only offers it with an expensive business plan. Is there any practical workaround to get a fixed IP without upgrading to business broadband? Looking for real solutions used by traders.
User: AlgoRavi:
Yes, very common problem. Most of us don’t use ISP static IP. We run our trading bots on a VPS (cloud server). Providers like DigitalOcean, AWS Lightsail, and Vultr give a permanent public IP by default. You just whitelist that IP in your broker panel and run your API from there. Much cheaper than business broadband.
User: QuantTrader_IN:
+1 for VPS. I’m using AWS Lightsail (₹600/month). Static IP, 24/7 uptime, no power cuts. My Zerodha Kite Connect works perfectly. Home internet IP keeps changing, so broker blocks it.
User: TechBull:
Another option is dedicated IP VPN, but some brokers block VPN ranges. VPS is safer because it’s a clean IP and looks like a normal server, not a proxy.
User: CodeNTrade:
If you still want to run your bot on your home PC, you can create an SSH tunnel via a VPS. All API traffic goes through the VPS static IP, but computation stays local. Slightly advanced, but works.
User: MarketWatcher:
Avoid relying on ISP static IP unless you need ultra-low latency. Cloud VPS latency to NSE is already good enough for most retail algos.

Cost comparison:
Business broadband static IP: ₹2,000–₹3,000/month
VPS with static IP: ₹400–₹800/month
No brainer.
