Desktop app still uses IP from streamlit.app

Hey! I successfully turned my web app into a desktop app using Nativefier. However, it seems that it continues to route traffic through Streamlit’s website. Anyway, I’m trying to use it to post Stories via an unofficial Instagram API, but I always get a message that the IP is blocked (but if I run Streamlit locally, it works). Anyone have any ideas aside from integrating a proxy?

Hi @captainobviouz

Another approach would be to do a custom deployment, for example, on AWS or GCP, which would allow you to get a dedicated IP address aside from the shared IP.

You can’t put a proxy between streamlit cloud and the unofficial instagram API. You need to deploy to somewhere else.
