Glad you got it updated before you missed an event! That's the worry that made me look for something flexible and software-defined that I could run in GitHub Actions.

The bigger worry would be if they removed some IP addresses from their list. Those IP addresses would be juicy targets for hackers to scoop up and attempt an attack knowing that people have whitelisted them and that they allow access to what is likely relatively poorly protected infrastructure.
from my previous comment:

> You could of course write a cron script to regularly check Github hooks IPs and update firewall if Github changes it's webhooks IPs.

This is way easier and simpler than any other solution. It will be a mere 6 line script.
