## Options

<Accordion title="Fixed IP Addresses">
  Artie leverages a split plane architecture.

  * Our control plane houses our API server.
  * Our data plane performs the actual data replication.

  <Note>
    If you plan to safelist Artie's IPs, please ensure you include both our control plane and data plane IPs.

### Questions

<Accordion title="What if I don't see my region?">
  Get in touch with us either through our [Slack](https://artie.com/slack) or [email](mailto:hi@artie.com). We are happy to set up another region.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Why are there so many IPs?">
  We're sorry! We were unable to secure a CIDR range when we first launched. We have now worked this out with AWS and will be using larger CIDR ranges for the next data plane.
