For businesses that use a firewall with a whitelist:
New Portbase IP addresses require action on your part before 30 June
We are constantly working to improve the Port Community System (PCS). That is why, in order to make our services even more reliable and secure, we will update our firewall as of 30 June 2016. From that date onward, all message traffic between users and the PCS (web and EDI) will be routed through two new IP addresses. This switch will potentially require that participating companies make a simple adjustment to their own firewalls. For which participants this applies will be explained below.
Does your business use a firewall with a whitelist? If so, action is required this month, no later than 30 June! We ask that you add the following two IP numbers to the whitelist for your firewall:
212.159.220.242 and 212.159.220.222.
Be sure to do this in a timely fashion. If you do not add these addresses, you will be unable to contact the PCS as of 30 June 2016. Information on what to do with the old IP addresses will follow at a later date.
