Abstract
A computer-implemented method to block a domain based on an Internet Protocol (IP) address serving the domain is described. A trigger event on a first domain is detected. The IP address serving the first domain is identified. The identified IP address is compared with a list of IP addresses. The trigger event is blocked based on a determination that the identified IP address matches at least one IP address on the list.
Claims18
A computer-implemented method to block a domain based on an Internet Protocol (IP) address serving the domain, comprising:
- detecting a trigger event on a first domain;
- identifying at least one additional domain accessed prior to the first domain;
- identifying the IP address serving the first domain;
- comparing the identified IP address with a list of IP addresses;
- and
- blocking the trigger event based on a determination that the identified IP address matches at least one IP address on the list.
A computing device configured to block a domain based on an Internet Protocol (IP) address serving the domain, comprising:
- a processor;
- memory in electronic communication with the processor;
- instructions stored in the memory, the instructions being executable by the processor to:
- detect a trigger event on a first domain;
- identify at least one additional domain accessed prior to the first domain;
- identify the IP address serving the first domain;
- compare the identified IP address with a list of IP addresses;
- and
- block the trigger event based on a determination that the identified IP address matches at least one IP address on the list.
A computer-program product for blocking a domain based on an Internet Protocol (IP) address serving the domain, the computer-program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions thereon, the instructions being executable by the processor to:
- detect a trigger event on a first domain;
- identify at least one additional domain accessed prior to the first domain;
- identify the IP address serving the first domain;
- compare the identified IP address with a list of IP addresses;
- and
- block the trigger event based on a determination that the identified IP address matches at least one IP address on the list.
