Recently we've had customers ask us if our Whitelist/Blacklist feature supports ASN's and if not, when will support be added. Today we've added full support for ASN's to both the Whitelist and Blacklist feature. We've also enhanced the API responses when you perform queries which are affected by either of your custom lists.

So firstly the way you add ASN numbers to be White or Blacklisted is a new ASN format like this: AS1928 So for example here is a screenshot showing some examples:

So to place ASN's you simply follow the format which is AS###### you can place as many ASN's, IP's and Ranges in the White and Blacklists. All will be lifted from the box and you can still place comments besides your entries.

Now we've also altered the JSON result from the API when one of your Whitelists or Blacklists has been utilised for the IP you're checking, this is how that looks:

{
    "node": "HELIOS",
    "ip": "62.205.245.173",
    "proxy": "yes",
    "type": "blacklisted by AS28843",
    "query time": "0.001s"
}

Previously it would only say blacklisted or whitelisted, now it actually will tell you what triggered the type of detection, it can list individual IP Addresses, Ranges or the ASN numbers you've specified.

We hope you enjoy these changes they are a direct result of your feedback.
