fly-networking-and-edge

fly-networking-and-edge is a skill for Claude Code from jsgerman-oss/blackrim-nimbus-skills. It costs 80 tokens per session (2,376 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to networking and public or private service access on Fly.io, a cloud platform for running apps close to users. It covers how requests reach Fly Machines and how services connect to one another.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure or audit Fly.io apps, service-to-service connections, HTTPS or TLS passthrough, dedicated IPs, private network access, and public exposure.
Why use it?
It helps avoid exposing services unnecessarily and clarifies choices around public addresses, private routing, TLS, and WireGuard tunnels.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

fly-networking-and-edge scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Fly Networking and Edge

When to use

  • Standing up a new Fly App and deciding whether it needs a public IP.
  • Designing service-to-service communication within a Fly organization.
  • Configuring TLS, HTTP → HTTPS redirect, or custom TLS passthrough.
  • Assigning or removing dedicated IPv4 addresses (cost consideration).
  • Using WireGuard to tunnel from a developer machine or external network into 6PN.
  • Auditing which machines have public exposure.

Anycast routing — how Fly's edge works

Fly operates a global anycast network. A DNS name like myapp.fly.dev resolves to an anycast IP that routes the connection to the nearest Fly point-of-presence (PoP), where the Fly Proxy accepts the connection and forwards it to the appropriate Machine.

Key implications:

  • No single origin IP. The same request from different geolocations enters Fly at different PoPs; there is no single "server IP" to allowlist.
  • IPv6 by default, shared IPv4 by default. Fly provides a shared anycast IPv4 and a dedicated anycast IPv6 for every App automatically. Dedicated IPv4 costs $2/mo.
  • TLS is terminated at the Fly Proxy. The proxy terminates TLS on behalf of your app unless you configure TLS passthrough (tls_options in fly.toml).

IP address model

Type Default? Cost Use when
Shared IPv4 (anycast) Yes Free Most apps — the Fly Proxy routes by SNI.
Dedicated IPv4 (anycast) No ~$2/mo You need a stable public IP for allowlisting, or run non-HTTP protocols that can't share.
Shared IPv6 (anycast) Yes Free Modern clients; HTTP/3 (QUIC).
Private (6PN) Always Free Intra-org service-to-service communication.

Add a dedicated IP: fly ips allocate-v4. Remove: fly ips release <ip>.

For cost discipline: audit shared-IP sufficiency before allocating dedicated IPs. Most web apps do not need a dedicated IPv4.

6PN — the private network

Every Fly organization has a 6PN (private WireGuard mesh). Every Machine in the org gets a stable private IPv6 address on the fdaa::/8 range. Machines in the same org can reach each other by DNS name or by the raw 6PN address without traversing the public internet.
