Scope of Blocking

Blocking an IP or IP range, like shown below, will add respective entries to the Network ACL which is responsible for regulating incomming traffic from the internet to the infrastructure of the current environment. This means traffic from this IP or IP range is blocked before it reaches the load balancers in front of your application. Furthermore traffic is blocked before it reaches ALL load balancers of the respective environment. Please consider, that by doing so, you block traffic from reaching not only one of your applications (e.g. the one attacked), but all situated in the same environment.

Limitation

You will be prevented to block

  • internal IPs

  • special IPs like 0.0.0.0 or 127.0.0.1

  • invalid IPv4 or IPv6

  • if the maximum number of entries for the ACL is reached

IP vs CIDR

A Network ACL is based on IPs or IP ranges presented in the Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) notation (having /xx behind the actual IP to describe network mask).
