Outgoing IPs & Ports for WordPress
I recently locked down all outgoing connections from my DMZ to the internet and now have to open things explicitly in my packet filter. For wordpress I did not find any documentation on that, so here are my findings to be able to update plugins and themes (I don’t care about the RSS feed on the dashboard):
| IP | Port(s) | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 198.143.164.250 | 80 (HTTP) & 443 (HTTPS) | downloads.wordpress.org |
| 198.143.164.251 | 80 (HTTP) & 443 (HTTPS) | api.wordpress.org |
| 192.0.96.247 | 80 (HTTP) & 443 (HTTPS) | api.akismet.com |
| 192.0.96.248 | 80 (HTTP) & 443 (HTTPS) | api.akismet.com |
