The quarantined section will show requestors that have been banned for violation of the Dynamic Rules and Rate Limiting rules, requestors that have been blacklisted, and requestors that have been whitelisted. You can add and remove requestors, and transfer them among the various lists.
There are four lists of requestors in this section:
Banlist
Simulation Banlist
Blacklist
Whitelist
Each is described in more detail below.
For each entry, it's possible to see the following: IP address, origin country, AS number, the violation that was triggered, "CNT/Limit" (the number of violations compared to the allowable limit), when the ban began, and when the ban will expire.
All requests from these requestors are currently being rejected. These requestors violated a rule that was set to “Ban” mode.
These requestors are NOT having all their requests rejected. These requestors violated a rule that was set to “Simulated Ban” mode. Simulated Bans are used mainly for testing new rules and seeing how they function, before converting those rules to Ban mode.
All requests from these requestors are currently being rejected. These requestors were placed here by a Reblaze admin.
These requestors are exempted from the Dynamic Rules. Even if they violate a Dynamic Rule, they will not be banned.
Requestors are added to the Banlist and Simulation Banlist automatically when they violate a Dynamic Rule or Rate Limiting Rule.
You can add a requestor manually to the Whitelist or Blacklist using the "Add New Entry" option in the section menu. This is demonstrated in the following video:
The fields are:
Field Name
Description
Type
Cookie, Country, ASN, IP, Request Body, Request Header.
Name
Will appear for specific types: Cookie (Name), Headers, etc.
Value
The value which will activate the blacklisting. For example, when Type is "IP", the blacklistable IP address would be entered here.
Reason
User description of the reason for adding this entry.
Expiration
The expiration of the entry, in Hours or Minutes (only relevant for blacklists).
Requestors can be transferred among the various lists with this procedure:
Select the requestor(s) by checking the box at the left of each entry.
Open the section menu.
Choose the desired "Move to" command (e.g., "Move to Whitelist").
Moving an item to the Banlist can only be done from the Simulation Banlist.
Requestors on the Banlist, Simulation Banlist, or Blacklist will be automatically removed when their expiration time is reached. (The Whitelist has no expiration time.)
Requestors can be manually removed from the list they are currently on:
Select the requestor(s) by checking the box at the left of each entry.
Choose "Delete".
On the right part of the screen is the section menu, invoked via the button with three vertical dots:. Depending on context, the section menu will offer the management abilities described below.
Open the section menu by clicking on its button ().
