EE 5GEE IP address ranges

sphudson — Wed, 31 May 2023 13:17:56 GMT

Hi,

Is there any info available on what IP address ranges are allocated to data only sims in 5GEE routers?

I need to connect to a secured environment, and as EE don't offer fixed IP's, the vendor will consider opening up the EE ranges.

I'm currently on 31.94.5.2**

That public IP is part of the EE pool:

IP Location United Kingdom United Kingdom Haringey Ee Limited
ASN United Kingdom AS2856 BT-UK-AS BTnet UK Regional network, GB (registered Dec 22, 1993)
Whois Server whois.ripe.net
IP Address 31.94.5.2**
inetnum: 31.64.0.0 - 31.127.255.255

Noted, but surely the range supplied to 5GEE devices, or off specific towers is a bit narrower?

EE has numerous pools of public IPs. Furthermore the EE mobile network uses Carrier Grade NAT (CGNAT) ~~resulting in a double NAT, which games consoles often object to,~~ which means you don't get your own public IP address but share it with other users. ~~So you can't be uniquely id'ed on the Net & therefore your LAN cannot be addressed from outside for unsolicited accesses.~~ This is unlike fixed BB.

EDIT: Redacted that which is not relevant to your enquiry.

I am not looking to address my device or access it from an external network, I am merely trying to narrow down a set of IP addresses that an external firewall can allow through (as possibly representing my network)
