Hey Alvar and rest,

i am not sure if it is a good idea to have fixed IP addresses because
this allows more attacks (spoofing etc.) and providers/companies etc.
could also slow down or worse block the traffic to those IP's.

it could be nice to have both ^^
@Michal write your own script which add/remove the IP's dynamical to
your firewall. i know its a hacky workaround but it could work ^^
