CDN BYOIP
Keep the addresses. Change the delivery network.
Some networks, partners and allow-lists pin IP space. Moving CDN without BYOIP means changing every firewall and contract that listed the old addresses.
Cloud CDN supports custom IP and ASN (BYOIP). Announce space you own, map hostnames as usual, and keep TLS, cache and Origin Shield on the distribution.
Why teams use Aptranet
What CDN BYOIP looks like on this network.
Cloud CDN caches and accelerates eligible content on 210+ points of presence, with Origin Shield when the origin must stay out of the way.
Your addresses on the edge
Clients and allow-lists keep talking to IP space you control.
Same TLS and DDoS path
BYOIP does not remove HTTP/3, TLS 1.3 or L3-L7 mitigation.
Delivery still on 210+ PoPs
You bring the numbering. Aptranet still operates the cache footprint.
How to set it up
A cutover you can validate before DNS moves.
Create the Cloud CDN configuration, prove it on an Aptranet hostname, then point production DNS when the path looks correct.
- 1Confirm address space and ASN
BYOIP is planned with Aptranet against space you are allowed to announce.
- 2Map hostnames to the distribution
Certificates and cache policy are unchanged.
- 3Announce and validate
Check reachability, TLS and cache hits on the brought-up space.
- 4Cut over allow-listed clients
Partners that pin your prefixes do not need a new IP list.
Outcomes
What changes once the hostname is on Aptranet.
- Public IPs can remain yours
- CDN features still apply
- Allow-lists do not have to be rewritten
- Origin protection is unchanged

Frequently Asked Questions
No. Most hostnames use Aptranet addressing. BYOIP is for teams that must keep their prefixes.
Plan IPv4 and IPv6 prefixes you intend to announce. Cloud DNS and Cloud CDN both support IPv6 records and delivery.
Yes. Authoritative Cloud DNS can answer the names that sit on the brought addresses.
Bring-your-own IP is planned with Aptranet. Contact sales with the prefixes and ASN.
