-By default, dynamically provisioned {% data variables.product.github %}-hosted runners do not guarantee static IP addresses. This includes the runners that are used by default with {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %}.
+{% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} is a first-party {% data variables.product.github %} App whose repository access is exempt from IP allow list restrictions. This means {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} can read dependency files and create pull requests regardless of your IP allow list configuration, even when running on standard {% data variables.product.github %}-hosted runners.
 
-If you use an IP allow list and {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %}, you must set up a self-hosted runner or enable {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} for use with {% data variables.actions.hosted_runners %}.

+If your {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} workflows require predictable, static IP addresses for other reasons (for example, to access private registries behind a firewall), you should set up a self-hosted runner or enable {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} for use with {% data variables.actions.hosted_runners %}.
