Due to the distributed nature of our network, the IP address your site uses to make outbound connections will differ from the IP the domain resolves to, and hence inbound traffic routes through.

External connections made by shared websites will appear as from either 185.151.28.62185.151.28.63, 185.146.165.194, 185.146.165.195, 185.146.165.196, 45.8.227.174, 45.8.227.175 or 45.8.227.176.

Managed Hosting servers will make external connections from either 185.146.165.195, 45.8.225.203 or 45.8.225.204.

If you have a Scheduled Tasks/Cron Job that requires external connections, these will appear from 185.151.28.61, 185.146.165.196, 45.8.227.174 or 45.8.227.175

If you are running performing a migration, these will appear from 45.8.227.13 or 185.146.165.5.

However, the above addresses are subject to change. So if possible, we'd recommend whitelisting the IP ranges 185.151.28.0/24, 185.146.165.0/24, 45.8.225.0/24 and 45.8.227.0/24.
