I am developing a flask application that needs to consume an API and that requires that I should have US based IP address. My problem is very similar to this question but I can avail services like QuotaGuard or VPNStaticIP. I want to ask:

Does anyone know about these services? Am I on the right track?
How would I configure my flask application which I am still developing to use a proxy IP. From QuotaGuard website:

When you sign up you will be provided with a unique username and password that you can use to configure a proxy service in your application: username:password@static.quotaguard.com:9292 Blockquote

How would I go about this?

I don't know if you're going to use a proxy or VPN. But if you go with a proxy, you can install **proxychains** and configure it so that you can send your requests through this proxy. It doesn't really have anything to do with Flask. – Amin Alaee Jun 21 '16 at 10:17
