Last updated: 2023-12-29 14:30:37

This document describes Web Application Firewall (WAF) attacker IP penalty, which can quickly block malicious attacker IPs and defeat attacks and threats from malicious scanners, proxies and webs to improve defense efficiency.
Overview
Attacker IP penalty can automatically block repeated web attacks the client IP suffered in a short period of time. You can view attack logs for attack details.
Prerequisites
You have purchased a WAF plan.
You have added a protected domain name, and ensured the domain name is in normal protection. For detailed directions, see Getting Started.
Currently, IPs can be blocked by domain name. Domain names can have different blocking durations, which are calculated separately.
Directions
1. Log in to the WAF console and select Configuration Center > Basic Security > Web Security on the left sidebar.
2. On the web security page, select the target domain name in the top-left corner and click

 next to IP blocking to enable IP blocking.
