Step-by-Step Removal
Check your IP status
Visit www.blocklist.de/en/search.html and enter your IP address. You will see all active reports against your IP, including the type of attack and timestamps.
Stop the malicious activity
Identify the source of the attacks. Common causes include compromised accounts, malware, misconfigured services, or someone else on a shared server. Fix the root cause — patch software, change passwords, and review outbound connections.
Request delisting
Visit www.blocklist.de/en/delist.html and submit your IP for removal. You will need to confirm that the issue has been resolved. The process is automated via a web form.
Monitor for new reports
After delisting, monitor your IP for new reports. If the attacks resume, you will be relisted automatically when new fail2ban reports arrive.

- ●Blocklist.de is powered by real fail2ban reports, so the attacks from your IP are real and verified.
- ●Even if you did not initiate the attacks, your server may be compromised. Check for rootkits and unauthorized processes.
- ●If your IP is on shared hosting, other users on the same server may be causing the reports. Contact your hosting provider.
