IPs missing from the list

[damelco]

I'm getting some hits on IPs just outside the list entries.
do you have any provision for manually entries to the list?

thanks

The list of IP addresses is taken from the zip file provided by Meta from their developers website: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/guides/network-requirements/

They are only IP Addresses and ranges of the WhatsApp server.

The list is verified and correct.

[damelco]

so just to confirm ... you do not have any provision to manually add IPs to the list that Whatsapp uses which are NOT in that list ... correct?

btw: not sure who verified that list, but it definitely is missing at least seven IPs I have identified so far.
so I guess its not correct?!
;)

thanks again ... I appreciate your time and effort!!

No, only official sources for the moment.

Possibly they are shared service IPs. Since it is possible that Meta uses one server for multiple services, this may in case of blocking harm other Meta services.

Please indicate your IPs, so we can determine which services are affected. If possible, an unofficial list can be put together so as not to affect other services.

I have verified these seven IPs [not in the 4/17/2023 list] are used for whatsapp communication between midwest USA and central europe.

31.13.71.48
31.13.86.48
31.13.88.62
157.240.203.62
157.240.231.62
157.240.203.62
157.240.241.62
157.240.254.62

as you can see they seem to be just outside a couple of their existing blocks.

I suspect there may be many more missing from the list ...
if I do discover additional orphans, would you like them posted here??

regards,
