External IP range

[Darknation]

Hello,

I know you can only get a static IP on a business account but is there a standard set of IP ranges for domestic accounts?

I need to be whitelisted for work and wondered what the possible range of external IP addresses is?

They have various dynamic ranges. Too many to whitelist

I think the appropriate resource would be the RIPE database but as @jamesn123 indicates, netblock ownership is a dynamic environment and any hard-coded whitelist would be likely to go out of date.

Ok thanks for the info. Will have to look at other solutions then.

Given that domestic ISPs haven't offered fixed IP addresses to subscribers for many years (if ever) and will have huge and varied netblocks, whitelisting is really not a good idea anyway.  If your business allowed all allocated Sky addresses those would create some six million potential points of entry....
