IP blocklist lookup
Check whether an IPv4 or IPv6 address is listed for IRC abuse.
Live results require a connected DWDNSBL service.
Listing policy
Each listing requires verified IRC abuse tied to a specific connecting IP. External blocklists help staff investigate reports. Approved listings expire after 24 hours.
