Hi

I'm trying to get an official list of IPs used by Spark but the closest I can find so far is via ipinfo.io eg 122.58.88.0/21

Does anyone know if there's a better source of IP addresses used by Spark? I'm trying to create an allow list for devices connecting to a network from a Spark IP, an official list would be very helpful if you know of one.

Kind regards

Craig

are you REALLY sure you want to do this?

This will be a nightmare to maintain, but, if it floats your boat

He asked the same question in the Vodafone Forum for their IP addresses

OP: Why don't you just get a UTM firewalland Geo Block Countries, the license subscription will be cheaper than the manual labour involved to keep this maintained

Country blocking would make more sense!

This is a silly idea as IP ranges change, Go back to the drawing board and rethink this!

Thanks nztim and sparkz25 - looks like ipinfo.io might be the way to go as suspected

Its a leaky boat :-) That list stops at 122, there are more, as you can see by the hosting list, I can think of a few ranges off the top of my head that are not there.

They must be advertised under a different ASN then :)

Nope :-)

Mine currently is a 222.152 and is also 4771. I took it that when you clicked the 100 more, it reached a limit as it went from largest being 115 to being 122, that's how it seemed

(Edit, I have a work involvement with Spark IP's, so not assuming/guessing)

Probably create filter allow rules based on certain RSP / NZ IP addresses

As mentioned the best way to do this is to invest in a UTM firewall which does have a yearly subscription but allows you to write firewall rules based on Countries / ASNs that are dynamically updated without manual intervention

Sonicwall//fortinet/sophos are three common brands of UTM firewall that do this
