I have the basic IP that came with the server. One main server IP and 4 extra IPs. I only really use 3 IPs. The main server one and two other IPs. There are two extra IPs that I don't see at all.

Anyway I like to get the basic floodgate protect 4IP Block. I assume that would be enough for me since I only use 3 IPs in general.

During the request to sign up for floodgate. You have a drop down menu that gives /30 Protect a 4 IP Block. The one that I'm using. But next to it is the inputted field Protected Subnet . What the heck am I suppose to put in that field?

You could follow the example provided on the Request Floodguard page.

Type in the first IP address you want to protect.

In the comments column, just mentioned all the IP address you want covered and which you do not want to. Explain your situation there and I believe they know what to do.

Oh yes, make sure that you remove all reference to the 2 IPs which you have not used on the server because even if you do not use them, as long as they are pingable they can still be used to access your machine if they want to.
