Domains

Primary Domains

Primary Domains are owned and managed by the application vendor.

Platform Domains are often provided by hosting providers, content delivery networks, SaaS platforms and other third parties. It is important to identify these domains for DNS filters and hostname blocklists.

Platform Domains

Amazon AWS	{hidden}.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com	and 2 more
AppsFlyer	{hidden}.customlinks.appsflyer.com
Cloudflare	{hidden}.cloudflare.net	and 1 more

SaaS - Software-as-a-Service

Applications often use various third party platforms for providing authentication, advertising, cybersecurity, e-mail services and more. The Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platforms used by Plex are summarized below.

SaaS	# of IPs
AppsFlyer	2
Discourse	2
SparkPost	4

Service	Category	Sample IP	IP Count
AppsFlyer	Advertiser	162.159.140.159	2 IPs
Discourse	Social Media	184.105.99.43	2 IPs
SparkPost	Mail	44.238.203.209	4 IPs

Hosting

Cloud hosting vendors like AWS and Microsoft Azure provide cloud-based computing and network resources to deliver applications. The hosting platforms used by Plex are summarized below by geographical points-of-presence (PoP). Each PoP can host many IPs to deliver an application.

Cloud Hosts	# of IPs
Amazon AWS	74
Linode	152

Host	PoP	Location	IPs
Amazon AWS	Ashburn	United States	31 IPs
Amazon AWS	Dublin	Ireland	43 IPs
Linode	Fremont	United States	14 IPs
Linode	Atlanta	United States	21 IPs
Linode	Newark	United States	22 IPs
Linode	Dallas	United States	13 IPs
Linode	Singapore	Singapore	12 IPs
Linode	Frankfurt am Main	Germany	25 IPs
Linode	London	United Kingdom	23 IPs
Linode	Tokyo	Japan	5 IPs
Linode	Toronto	Canada	17 IPs

Content Delivery Networks - CDNs

In order to get information to end users more quickly, many applications are distributed from multiple geographical points-of-presence (PoPs) using Content Delivery Networks (CDNs). Each PoP can host many IPs to deliver an application. A sample IP is provided.

Take special note of CDNs that use Anycast technology. Anycast makes it possible to route a single IP address to a variety of different geographic locations. In other words, one global Anycast IP is hosted in multiple geographic locations.
