@lpd7 said in Creating My Own IP4 Deny List Within PFB:
find all the numbers associated with a domain?
Can entail some detective work to be sure. For example you have www.domain.com, while easy enough to look up that IP.. And from that IP get the ASN that IP is part of, so any other IPs in that ASN.
But what if this company using domain.com also hosts their backend stuff for their services of CDNnetwork, or OtherCompany, etc. etc..
So while you might be able to block some of their front end stuff they host on ASN1, but they could providing their whole software or system using ASN2, and ASNX, etc.
The more global and complex a system might be, the harder it can be to block or find all the possible IPblocks being used to host that system on a global scale. Don't forget IPv6 as well - that would be completely different ASNs
And don't forget if you start blocking CDNnetworkX ASN, you could end up blocking other stuff hosted there that you didn't want to block.
If it was me, I would just block on dns - don't allow clients to use external dns. Blocking doh can come with its own headaches, but easier than trying to block a huge list of IPs service might use, and some of these ip ranges these days quite often shared with other services you might not want to block.. Most everything these days is hosted of very large CDNs (content delivery network)..
Blocking those can be very problematic when comes to stuff you want to work, now not working.
Prob easier to just find the fqdn client is trying to access to get it to said service, and block those via dns.
