Basic Admin: Adding Blogger.com IP to iptables for SFTP

ipcalc, iptables, linux admin 1 Comment »

I use blogger and host the files on my server, after I edit a post it has to sftp the files so they appear here. This is the process for adding them.

Adding the Blogger sftp servers to iptables.

Blogger.com lists their outbound ip’s here. (It was current Jan 19, 2009)

# always check the addresses are correct and the link above.
for i in 66.102.15.83 216.34.7.186 64.233.178.192/28  64.233.178/28
  do
             echo iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s $i -p tcp --dport ssh -j ACCEPT
  done
### Output
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s 66.102.15.83 -p tcp --dport ssh -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s 216.34.7.186 -p tcp --dport ssh -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s 64.233.178.192/28 -p tcp --dport ssh -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s 64.233.178/28 -p tcp --dport ssh -j ACCEPT

######## Other notes
I cheated and used ipcalc to the get the subnet calculations:

  ipcalc 64.233.178.192 - 64.233.178.207
  64.233.178.192/28
