## Envoyer IP Addresses

If you are restricting SSH access to your server using IP whitelisting, you **must** whitelist the following IP addresses:

* `159.65.47.205`

* `157.245.120.132`

* `134.122.14.47`

* `144.126.248.121`

You may also need to whitelist the [Health Check IP addresses](/projects/management#health-check-ip-addresses).

## Envoyer API

Envoyer provides a powerful API that allows you to manage your servers programmatically, providing access to the vast majority of Envoyer features. You can find the Envoyer API documentation [here](https://envoyer.io/api-documentation).

## Limitations

Envoyer is not necessary for applications running [Laravel Octane](https://github.com/laravel/octane), as Octane already includes zero-downtime deployments out of the box.
