Does Apple use South Front IP’s

This is Apple. Its a shame the only place to find this out was Virus Total. There is zero about Apple/Southfront connection. I am happy this was not a redirect by malware. My only question is out of all of my Apple devices, a MacBook , iMac, iPad Pro, iPhone, watch, HomePod, why did only my iMac connect to this IP and pretty much everything was coming from this IP, I could not even download Mac OS while I was blocking this IP. If anyone else experiences this its Apple.

That is not true Apple uses 17.0.0.0/8 for a fact and I want to know if they use 23.142.48.80. I am not talking about my local address I am talking about Apples IP address. I can see my computer talking Apple services on this IP address and I need to verify that it belongs to Apple.

Specifically the IP address 23.142.48.80

I do not see any information of this being an Apple IP.

I have 2 macs and one of them is trying to run everything through that IP address App Store etc and my other Mac goes straight to Apple 170.0.0/8. So I am confused do I have unknown malware?
