How IP Blocklist works:
An example how IP Blocklist for Outpost works.. let's say you have added in the Blocklist in Outpost to block the IP address by rogue software, 91.203.92.48. Outpost will resolve it by adding the domain name that currently using the said IP address and it resolved as antivirus-scanner(dot)com. When you visit a NEW rogue website or NEW regisered domain that happen to be using the same IP address by the antivirus-scanner(dot)com, you do not need to add the domain name to be blocked because Outpost will recognize it as the same bad and rogue IP address that serves a rogue product:
With IP blocking instead of domain name blocking, you will have short list of blocklist. All you have to is enter the new domain or website name in Outpost Blocklist and if it detected that it exists already, Outpost will not add it again since you already have a Blocklist rule for the said IP address but new domain.
I update that daily or whenever there's new bad and rogue sites that is in the wild. I actually want to update it every 3 days but each time I see new rogue links from trusted sources or researchers and my own findings (from spam or while I'm crusing the net or playing with malware in a testing PC and controlled network)... I just need to update what I share to Outpost users and also can be reference to HOSTS file users.
The download link of Outpost Blocklist contains 5 files:
1. What's New - This text file contains the information on what was added, removed or updated in the blocklist. If you are not Outpost user, you can use this as reference and check if your HOSTS file or another prevention software that allow you to block bad IP or domain have it already.
2. The IP Blocklist in .txt, in .lst and in .dat files format. These are the files available for Outpost users to import in Outpost Blocklist function. Only one of these files is to be imported. Depending on what file format the OP user want to import. It can dat, lst or txt format.
3. Readme - some information about the blocklist files.
