Amazon Echo Ip Address: Find it with Alexa App or Router Settings[^1^]

Amazon Web Services (AWS) publishes its current IP address ranges in JSON format. To view the current ranges, download the .json file. To maintain history, save successive versions of the .json file on your system. To determine whether there have been changes since the last time that you saved the file, check the publication time in the current file and compare it to the publication time in the last file that you saved.




Amazon Echo Ip Address



The public IPv4 address range, in CIDR notation. Note that AWS may advertise a prefix in more specific ranges. For example, prefix 96.127.0.0/17 in the file may be advertised as 96.127.0.0/21, 96.127.8.0/21, 96.127.32.0/19, and 96.127.64.0/18.


The subset of IP address ranges. The addresses listed for API_GATEWAY are egress only. Specify AMAZON to get all IP address ranges (meaning that every subset is also in the AMAZON subset). However, some IP address ranges are only in the AMAZON subset (meaning that they are not also available in another subset).


To allow an instance to access only AWS services, create a security group with rules that allow outbound traffic to the CIDR blocks in the AMAZON list, minus the CIDR blocks that are also in the EC2 list. IP addresses in the EC2 list can be assigned to EC2 instances.


You'll be contacted on the endpoint that you specified and asked to confirm your subscription. For example, if you specified an email address, you'll receive an email message with the subject line AWS Notification - Subscription Confirmation. Follow the directions to confirm your subscription.


I have an a on echo dot generation 2, and for a project I would like to track the package with Wireshark. I don't know much about Wireshark, but was thinking that somehow I could find the IP of the echo and filter the traffic on my network so I could focus on that. How can I do this, and if not is there a better way?


The Hack Me skill can tell you if your Amazon-linked email address has been involved in a security breach, and if so when and which organization was involved. Sadly, I found my email address had been associated with three breaches, but I changed my password in the aftermath. Alexa provides some security recommendations if it turns out you are vulnerable.


Whether or not to bind the UPnP (SSDP) listener to the multicast address (239.255.255.250) or instead to the (unicast) host_ip address specified above (or automatically determined). In special circumstances, like running in a FreeBSD or FreeNAS jail, you may need to disable this.


A MAC address, which stands for media access control address, is a unique combination of six pairs of hexadecimal numbers separated by dashes or colons that are used to identify your device over a network such as the internet.


Every Echo Dot has a distinct MAC address, similar to how computers have IP addresses. In some cases, you may need to find the MAC address because it is required for network connectivity.


The Wireless MAC is located near the bottom of the setup screen. You can refer to them later once you have all of the letters and numbers memorized. After connecting your Amazon Echo / Echo, you must enter the MAC address.


The majority of these issues arise when using an Echo Dot outside of your home. Users can change the MAC address of an Echo Dot when taking it to a hotel or other location without a private Wi-Fi connection.


The most convenient method is to install software that allows you to change your MAC address on your computer. The software will assign a new address to your Echo Dot at random. Here are the steps to change it manually.


If you have no prior experience changing MAC addresses, you should contact Amazon to see if they can assist you. If you suspect that your Echo Dot has been hacked for any reason, please contact Amazon.


Interestingly, while writing this, I thought I would just check the devices on my router and noticed that the Echo I changed (AlexaKitchen) has gone back to being static, not sure why this is, but at least it is no longer a duplicate IP address.


Networks, and the internet, don't identify computers (of any size, even your smartphone) by the name you give them. Computers prefer numbers, and the numbers they use as identifiers are called IP addresses.


When it comes to your computer(s), there are actually several IP addresses involved. One is how the computer talks to the internet at large, which is the IP address of your router. That IP address is generally assigned to the router by your internet service provider (ISP); the router, in turn, handles all the traffic from your computers and other devices out to the internet. So even though a website only sees a request come in from the IP address on the router, the router knows how to route the information to/from the computer. (That's why it's called a router.)


Computers on internal networks, be it Wi-Fi or Ethernet, at home or in the office, have their own IP addresses assigned to them (usually by the router). That way, all the nodes on the internal network can communicate. The protocol used by the router to assign IP addresses is called Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP).


So, there's also IPv6, which is 128-bit, with eight groups of four hexadecimal digits (numbers and lower-case letters mixed), all separated by a colon (for example: 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334). That offers a lot more than 4 billion addresses. The actual number is a 34 with 37 zeros after it (or 2 to the 128th power), which is technically 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,455. That's a lot of addresses.


What you'll also find is that there's lots of information about you attached to that IP address, specifically your ISP's name and your general location (called a GeoIP). That's because ISPs dole out a range of IP addresses. Figuring out your provider and general location based on IP address is as simple as consulting a public list.


With Google, that's all you see. There are plenty of sites out there that will show you the exact same thing. They see it simply because by visiting the site, your router has made a request, and thus revealed the IP address. Sites like WhatIsMyIP.com(Opens in a new window) and IPLocation(Opens in a new window) all go farther, showing off the names of your ISP, your city, and even maps.


Every device that connects to your internal network, be it at home or the office, has an IP address (your PC, your smartphone, your smart TV, your network printer, etc.) It doesn't matter if it's using Wi-Fi or Ethernet. They've all got an IP address if they're talking to the internet, or each other, through your router.


In the most basic network, your router is going to have an IP address like 192.168.0.1, and that will be called the "gateway." You'll see it pop up a lot as you look for the IP addresses of other devices. That typically means your router will use DHCP to assign addresses to devices, where only the last octet changes. So 192.168.0.101, or 192.168.0.102, for example. It depends on the range defined by your router.


What is revealed is more than just the IP address: you'll see the IPv4 address (and IPv6 if supported), the subnet mask, plus the Default Gateway (that's your router). Look above that row of data in the middle, and it shows the type of connection: "Wireless LAN adapter Wi-Fi." If I was using a wired connection it would have information under "Ethernet adapter."


On an iOS/iPadOS, go into Settings > Wi-Fi, and click the "i" in a circle next to the network you're on. The IP address, subnet, and router (gateway) will all be there under both an IPv4 and IPv6 section, as seen below.


If you're lucky, you've got a modern router (or set of routers, like a mesh system) that can be controlled with mobile apps. The app may make it a lot easier to find the IP address(es) you want. Click the icon next to each device to show the IP address and more info for each.


Open a terminal window on your computer, and type the word ping followed by the IP address of the receiver that is experiencing the problem. Assuming that your receiver is at 10.0.1.65, you would type:


Before you configure your managed switch, you will need to ensure that your Echo devices are using static IP addresses. If you do not know how to do this, please read our DHCP guide. Make sure that you write down the IP address of your Echo, and have it handy.


Yes it is a nice contrib and fast. The only difference is echo hub runs local, while the virtual smart home has more switches/devices and auto discovers devices, and will update the switch status on the amazon app, with a msg input. Both have been reliable for me.


Can if you or anyone else here can help me find/locate where i can get that data, i can just post some screenshots or logs only for the amazon echo traffic, and let me know on how i can go about just enabling those rules/packets, it be great. This way i can disable the previously created generic rule.


If you are using just the firewall, click into that and you will find "Open live log" near the top. Open that, make your connection on the echo and watch the logs. You might have to enable "log this connection" in your firewall rule as the UTM will only log blocked connections until told otherwise.


Now you need to monitor your firewall log - Expand Network Protection / Firewall / click on Live Log and look for the lines colored green. Those should be the packets from you Amazon Echo device. Do some using on your device and monitor for a while, taking a note of all protocols, ports, and destination addresses. Then tweak your rule replacing "Any" and "Internet IPv4" with the ports, protocols and destinations you have collected. You'll need to disable your "Internal Network - Any - Internet IPv4" to test your tweaked rule properly.


Keep in mind that you might have to allow multiple destination addresses owned by Amazon to make this work. When it comes to Amazon I usually track down the destination IP, run a Whois on it to get the whole network space and allow the whole network space as destination, as those services are usually using multiple servers hosted at Amazon. 2ff7e9595c
