POSTED ON 15 May, 2019

The IPDS or Intrusion and Prevention Detection System section within the IPDS module permits to configure and set protection rules at System or Farm service level.IPDS is a module which implements a group of techniques designed to detect, analyze and block network attacks.

On the other hand, RBL or Real-time Blackhole Lists are community-based, central repositories for IP Reputation. RBLs are most commonly used to identify web-based comment spam or network attackers. The repository maintains a list of IP that can be blocked (blacklisted) on servers, thus lowering the probability of an attack to our servers.

This section shows a list of your actual RBL rules.
