Block IP network (global bad IPs)

How Security Ninja Pro Cloud Firewall uses the shared bad-IP network, what data is sent, and related docs.

Security Ninja Pro Cloud Firewall can use a shared list of known malicious IPs. When participating sites report blocked attack traffic, that intelligence helps other sites block those IPs earlier, before they hit your login form.

Participate in the global bad IP network

Free vs Pro

  • Free: 8G-based request firewall that blocks many malicious request patterns.
  • Pro Cloud Firewall: shared bad-IP list (600M+ known bad IPs), plus login protection, country blocking, rename login, 2FA, and related controls. See How to use the firewall.

Global bad IP network

When enabled, Pro sites can submit blocked IPs (and related block reasons) to the central service and receive updates to the shared list. The bad-IP list refreshes on a daily schedule in the background (secnin_update_cloud_firewall).

Privacy

Data sent for this feature is limited to what the block network needs, typically the blocked IP, the site reporting the block, and the reason. It is not used to build personally identifiable visitor profiles.
