# Whitelist Inforiver IPs

Inforiver's outbound IP address must be whitelisted in the customer's network or database firewalls to access Inforiver services. 

### 1. Whitelisting Inforiver for On-Prem Writeback

Inforiver writeback may be unable to connect to on-prem databases hosted in data centers or office networks. This happens because the network firewall between your database and Inforiver blocks the inbound communication initiated for writeback. 

For writeback to work with on-prem databases, the admin must whitelist the below 5 Inforiver outbound IPs in the network firewall.
