Find the virtual IP address of a Shared Web App

I am trying to connect my custom domain (in my case it's through Godaddy) to my Azure web app.

I have followed all the steps but I am missing the web app IP address to complete the process.

The tutorial found in Azure says:

To create an A record, you need the virtual IP address of your web app. To get the IP address:

  1. In your browser, open the Azure Portal.
  2. Click the Browse option on the left side of the page.
  3. Click the Web Apps blade.
  4. Click the name of your web app.
  5. In the Essentials page, click All settings.
  6. Click Custom domains and SSL.
  7. In the Custom domains and SSL blade, click Bring External Domains". The IP address is located at the bottom of this part.

...everything works well until the last step (#7). I see no "Bring external domains", nor any IP address.

Under "Properties", there is a section OUTBOUND IP ADDRESSES, that contains 4 IPs. None of them seems to redirect to my site (http://educa03.azurewebsites.net/).

How can I find this IP address needed for the A record?

Any chance you're using a free tier app? if so, you need to upgrade to at least "Shared" to map the custom domain.

At some point it seems that a bug crept in that has made the incoming IP address disappear from that page.

If you are on a plan that supports domain names, then the best way to find your external IP address is to ping it. 

e:\PS>ping  educa03.azurewebsites.net

Pinging waws-prod-am2-051.cloudapp.net [104.47.137.62] with 32 bytes of data:

So in this case your external IP address, that you can put in A records, is 104.47.137.62
