IP address-based whitelisting on your firewall might probably fail after some time since OPSWAT uses CDN (Content Delivery Network) to faster delivery updates over the world, and IP address of edge servers might change over time.
Even the OPSWAT update servers host updates for all of the available engines we support, sometimes the custom engines might try to connect to their own cloud for updates, but this can be disabled in firewall and they will be updated just from OPSWAT.
