How do I find out what IPs to give, my IP doesnt stay the same? The local IP is hardly the one they want, it wouldnt make sense I think.

It means you’re doing boutique instead of scalable, and/or they don’t know how to deal with the traffic and auth infrastructure

scalable has cost and you only want to engage costs when it comes with benefits. Preventing non legitimate traffic is complementary to scalability. Just don't pay for illegitimate traffic...
