Methods, systems, and media for adding IP addresses to firewalls

A system for adding Internet Protocol (IP) addresses to a firewall, the system comprising:

• a hardware processor that is programmed to:
• receive a network packet that includes an external IP address associated with an external device, wherein the external device is a device not protected by the firewall;
• determine whether the external IP address is included in a group of IP addresses maintained by the firewall that are either blocked from receiving data from an internal device protected by the firewall or allowed to receive data from an internal device protected by the firewall;
• in response to determining that the external IP address is not included in the group of IP addresses:
• identify an Internet Service Provider (ISP) associated with the external IP address;
• causing a user interface to be presented to a user, wherein the user interface includes a preview that shows a web page of a domain associated with the external IP address;
• determine whether to add the external IP address to the group of IP addresses based at least in part on the ISP associated with the external IP address;
• in response to determining that the external IP address is to be added to the group of IP addresses:
• determine whether the ISP is included in a group of ISPs maintained by the firewall;
• in response to determining that the ISP is not included in the group of ISPs maintained by the firewall, add the ISP to the group of ISPs;
• and
• add the external IP address to the group of IP addresses;
• and
• cause a user interface to be presented that indicates a number of network packets that have been blocked that are associated with the external IP address.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for adding Internet Protocol (IP) addresses to a firewall, the method comprising:

• receiving a network packet that includes an external IP address associated with an external device, wherein the external device is a device not protected by the firewall;
• determining whether the external IP address is included in a group of IP addresses maintained by the firewall that are either blocked from receiving data from an internal device protected by the firewall or allowed to receive data from an internal device protected by the firewall;
• in response to determining that the external IP address is not included in the group of IP addresses:
• identifying an Internet Service Provider (ISP) associated with the external IP address;
• causing a user interface to be presented to a user, wherein the user interface includes a preview that shows a web page of a domain associated with the external IP address;
• determining whether to add the external IP address to the group of IP addresses based at least in part on the ISP associated with the external IP address;
• in response to determining that the external IP address is to be added to the group of IP addresses:
• determining whether the ISP is included in a group of ISPs maintained by the firewall;
• in response to determining that the ISP is not included in the group of ISPs maintained by the firewall, adding the ISP to the group of ISPs;
• and
• adding the external IP address to the group of IP addresses;
• and
• causing a user interface to be presented that indicates a number of network packets that have been blocked that are associated with the external IP address.
