Network request filtering

Filter unwanted traffic based on a list of source IP addresses

Some unwanted traffic can be identified based on a set of IP addresses. Typical examples can be short-lived bot attacks or exclusion of testing requests.

Configuration

To filter requests by an IP address (or IP address ranges):

  1. Navigate to the Security > Network tab.

Request Filtering: Network Tab

  1. Under No IP address rules, click Configure.
  2. To create an IP Blocklist, set Default behavior to Allow all besides the IP addresses listed below. Then fill in the Exceptions field with your list of blocked IP addresses.
  1. Click Save.

IP address format

The configuration accepts both single IP addresses in the form of 192.168.1.1/32 and IP address ranges defined by their CIDR representation (e.g. 192.168.1.1/16).
