I have residential DSL, dynamic IP. I live in rural Oregon.
If I reboot my DSL modem, I get a new IP. The link is always to a CL server in Portland, a few hundred miles away.
My IP today is 75.164.13x.xxx. According to quickie search:
NetHandle: NET-75-160-0-0-1
OrgID: CCL-534
Parent: NET-75-0-0-0-0
NetName: CENTURYLINK-LEGACY-QWEST-INET-124
NetRange: 75.160.0.0 - 75.175.255.255
I have a website. My host service allows me to whitelist an IP range and lock all other IP's out of backend access. This would be good for site security.
Soo, my question is this: will my CL dynamic IP always come from the 75.160 to 75.175 range, or does CL operate other IP blocks in my region?
Based on my proximity to Portland OR and Boise ID, can the IP range be narrowed down even smaller?
Thanks.
