Help:Cloud VPS IP space
This page documents IP addresses allocated for Cloud VPS projects.
The networks listed here are the supernets allocated for Cloud VPS usage. They're not expected to change very often, and so are suitable for use in e.g. access control lists. In practice, addresses are allocated from smaller networks in the documented IP space; the networks currently in use can be viewed via the OpenStack browser tool.
The canonical source of truth for IP allocations is Netbox, access to which is restricted.
IP space
| Network | Usage |
|---|---|
| 172.16.0.0/17 | Private IPv4 space. Used for internal traffic within Cloud VPS and when talking to Wikimedia wikis. |
| 185.15.56.0/25 | Public IPv4 space for instances with floating IP addresses. |
185.15.56.1 is the address used as the source NAT address for outbound traffic from instances without floating IP addresses.
| |
| 2a02:ec80:a000::/56 | Public IPv6 space for Cloud VPS instances.[1] |
Notes
- ↑ As there is no shortage of public IPv6 addresses, all instances with IPv6 connectivity are allocated a publicly routable address. Source NAT is not used for IPv6 traffic.
