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
