Temporary Blacklist

{{ $t('productDocDetail.updateTime') }}: 2025-12-25

When IP blocking is enabled, check which source IP addresses have been blocked in policies related to intrusion prevention, web app protection, data leak protection, and botnet detection. It also can check which policies triggered the IP blocking and IP addresses manually added to the temporary blacklist. You can also set the lockout period. An IP address will be automatically unblocked after the lockout period expires. Administrators can perform the following operations on the temporary blacklist.
