Check IP address detail

Using the IP Check utility, you can find out how Qrator Labs reverse proxies treat inbound traffic from a given IP address. The utility is available for domains and services. If you have multiple domains or services configured in your account, the status of the same IP address may be different for them.

  3. In the text box, enter the IP address.

  4. Click Search.

One of the following statuses will be shown next to the form.

  • Statuses in which traffic from the IP address is allowed without restriction:

    • IP address not blocked
    • IP address is on the "Whitelist"
    • IP address is upstream
  • Statuses in which traffic from an IP address is restricted:

    • IP address blocked via Qrator API
    • IP address blocked by WAF
    • IP address blocked by Qrator filtering system
    • Blocked based on HTTP error code (456) server response
