Can Google Cloud Compute connect to Mandrill for SMTP relay? - mandrill

I'm using Mandrill service, now I want to use this service to replay instance email, you know that instance blocked 25 port, so will use 2525 port for this replay, is Google Cloud Compute support Mandrill ?
Thanks

I have personally used mandrill and found no issues working with Google cloud as long as the port is 2525.

Yes it should work fine as Mandrill does indeed support port 2525 which google compute engine can use.

Youtube API Error 402: Payment Required

I'm trying to use Youtube API on a dedicated server for the first time but I have this error.
I read the FAQ https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/blob/master/README.md#http-error-429-too-many-requests-or-402-payment-required
but as I said I use it for the first time...
So how to "unban" my server IP? I would not be able to do a Captcha since it's a dedicated server and not my bowser.
The answer was that youtube-dl API bloks IPv6 IPs from OVH servers. I had to force the IPv4 and it solved it.

Using sendgrid with rails so I can send emails from Google Cloud Platform on port 465. Isnt working

Its my first time playing around with sending emails in an application. I'm using an instance on the google cloud platform and found out that they block sending emails form port 465. They have an work around solution which is using a third part to send the emails. I decided to go with sendgrid. But there are a few different options for setting it up and I'm not sure which is the one I'm supposed to use for CGP to allow me to send emails using SSL.
I followed this tutorial by sendgrid but I still have the instance blocking port 465. Am I supposed to do it a different way? If so what am I supposed to do?
To send email via SendGrid from gcp, you need to use port 2525.
See this link for more information on using SendGrid.

How to find the list of dynamic IP Addresses for the outbound connection to Twilio?

Our firewall restricts outbound network connections. Hence we need to know the list of IP addresses to which we need to open up the port for outbound network connections that connects to Twilio for the REST API for sending sms.
How to find out what are the list of IP addresses that twilio uses for outbound connections so that we can open those in our firewall?
As per the Twilio docs it says we need to open up for https://api.twilio.com.
Unfortunately our firewall needs to define a list of IP addresses instead of a URL and it looks like the IP Addresses keep changing and is not static.
Does the following hold good for outbound connections from Twilio for Messages via their REST API?

Please advise.
From the FAQ article on this topic:
Twilio makes HTTP requests to your server to fetch your app’s TwiML instructions. Some users prefer to know which IP address the request from Twilio is coming from in order to open up specific ports in a firewall. However, due to the fluid nature of our cloud architecture, we don’t have a set range of IPs that requests are sent from or know in advance what they will be.
Because Twilio’s requests will be coming from different IP addresses, we instead recommend that you validate that a request came from Twilio by other means. Please see our documentation on securing your application for more details.
If the inability to have a request come from a static IP address is a serious concern, please contact our sales department to discuss other options which might be available.

can we use OAUTH /OPenID in corporate LAN where Social network sites are blocked?

I am developing one website,in which I have implemented google oauth but when I am trying to run the sample in my office where there is a corporate LAN it is giving an error but the code works fine on my personal machine # my home.
Also one more question how stackoverflow is using google login I can access this site in office as well using google login.
Please give me suggestions/answers on it do we really need open internet coonection for oAuth/openID.
or will it work in corporate LAN?
Thanks
Is it blocked in your office? Or is it behind a proxy? My work puts everything behind a proxy, so I need to account for that in any OAuth code (or connect through our approved gateway).

What ports & outbound domains are used for trigger.io's Reload service?

I need to deploy a trigger.io app on a wifi net with a heavy firewall. What ports will the net need to have open to function properly?
I'm guessing the answer is ports 80 and 443, with outbound access to trigger.io and maybe (guessing here) reload.trigger.io.
Can anyone confirm the correct access requirements? Thanks!
All the reload requests are done over HTTPS (port 443), the domains accessed are trigger.io and s3.amazonaws.com.
That is unless you use the external reload feature, which downloads the resources from the domain you specify.
