This file contains the blocklist used by nip.io/sslip.io, a
DNS service which maps hostnames with an embedded IP address to that IP address
(e.g. 127.0.0.1.nip.io → 127.0.0.1). The service is sometimes abused by
phishers, scammers and grifters, hence the need for a blocklist.
When nip.io/sslip.io receives a DNS query for an IP address which appears in this list, instead of returning the expected IP address, it returns the IP address of a special webserver, https://blocked.nip.io, which warns the user that the site has been blocked.
The easiest way to contribute is to email abuse@nip.io with the offending URL and reason, e.g.
Please block 101.32.189.230.nip.io because it's impersonating TikTok's shop
Developers may alternatively submit a pull request:
- edit
blocklist.txt - add the line of the offending URL's IP address and the brand it's impersonating, e.g.
101.32.189.230 # TikTok
- keep the file sorted
- make a good commit message. Look at previous commits for inspiration
