Block IPs

If you spot a malicious IP or need to block IPs for whatever reason, you can block them directly from the Cockpit.

You can add IPs individually or in a batch by uploading a .csv file. The table shows when an IP was added and by whom.

Column descriptions:

• CIDR: the IP or range to block (Classless Inter-Domain Routing).
• Comment: reason for blocking the IP(s).
• Status: Created, Modified, Deleted, or Synced.
• Created: when the IP(s) were added.
• Updated: when the IP(s) were last updated (for example, after an edit in the Cockpit).

You can edit and remove blocked IPs, and download IPs as a .csv file.

Select desired cluster

Select your desired cluster from the dropdown menu at the top of the Cockpit.
