You are welcome

Some background info:

My infrastructure was under attack some time ago, probes for vulnerabilities from multiple IP addresses. As soon as I blocked one, it continued from another IP. Kerio IPS did not block those, but when I looked up any of those addresses, all of them had a confident score of 100% on AbuseIpDB. That's when I got the idea to implement a blocker based on this blacklist. Instead of trying to keep up by manual blocking the addresses they are now blocked within 20 seconds.

What I saw is that the amount of attacks really goes down after I started to use the blocker myself; after a few days, the amount of IP addresses that even try to connect is dropping - I assume they see that they are blocked almost immediately, give up and move on to the next system that has less security.

I still hope that Kerio will implement an official integration with AbuseIpDB as part of IPS.
