Mass IP Block List Import

Post by edwardpoe »

I have a list of several thousand IP subnets (essentially all of AWS public IP space) that I wish to block using a rule in QCenter, as my public facing devices have logged a lot of intrusion attempts of late, all of which appear to be AWS EC2 instances. Is there a method for importing a list from an input file, or am I stuck adding several thousand lines through the UI?

Just don't expose the QTS Web UI to the Internet. If remote access is required for the Web UI, setup a VPN server - preferably to dedicated VPN endpoint or the router, but no the that NAS, and remote connect to the NAS via the VPN.

Blocking IP addresses is a never ending game of cat and mouse, and the cat eventually catches the mouse - always.
