-Since the inception of vpsFree.cz, we have been using IP addresses provided by our ISP. It was only later that we became a member of RIPE and requested our own address ranges. To utilize our own autonomous system, it's necessary to replace these ISP addresses with addresses from the ranges assigned directly to our association by RIPE.

 ===== How to replace the addresses? =====
-New addresses have been routed to your VPS, which addresses specifically can be found in the email we sent you. If you haven't received any email and you don't have any IP from the mentioned ranges, this change does not concern you. When you are ready to proceed with the replacement, add the new addresses to your network interface using the "Interface addresses" form in vpsAdmin. You can have multiple addresses on an interface and perform the exchange gradually. Once the original addresses are no longer needed, you can remove them from your VPS using the same form in vpsAdmin.
