Remote Alert IP Security

You can import bulk sets of IP address and network listings to deny access to your Windows Home Server over the internet. The following Remote Alert IP Security blocklists / blacklist / IP deny lists are provided without any warranty whatsoever. No blocklist will ever be perfect – it may contain a number of false positives and false negatives.

European Union | China | Russia | United Kingdom | USA

You can create your own Remote Alert compatible deny lists by creating a text file with *.ra extension in the netmask format (IP Address, Netmask). Example:

China.ra
# China deny list example
58.14.0.0, 255.254.0.0
58.16.0.0, 255.255.0.0
58.17.0.0, 255.255.128.0
58.17.128.0, 255.255.128.0
