# Introduction | ||
|
||
The "Community Blocklist" is a curated list of IP addresses identified as malicious by CrowdSec. CrowdSec proactively block the IP addresses of this blocklist, preventing malevolent IPs from reaching their systems. | ||
|
||
|
||
# Community Blocklist Variation and Eligibility | ||
|
||
The rules are different for free and paying users: | ||
- Free users that **do** contribute get access to the `free blocklist` | ||
- Paying users get access to the `pro blocklist`, even if they don't contribute | ||
- Free users that **do not** contribute get the `degraded blocklist` | ||
|
||
Regardless of the "tier" of blocklist you have access to (`degraded`, `free`, `pro`), each Security Engine gets a tailored blocklist based on the kind of signal they share with the network. | ||
|
||
# Free Blocklist | ||
|
||
Free users that are actively contributing to the network (sending signal on a regular basis) have their Security Engines automatically subscribed to the "free blocklist". | ||
|
||
The content of the blocklist is unique to each Security Engine, as it mirrors the behaviours they report. For example, suppose you're running the Security Engine on a web server with WordPress. In that case, you will receive IPs performing generic attacks against web servers *and* IPs engaging in wordpress-specific attacks. | ||
|
||
The `free` blocklist content is capped at 15 thousand IPs at once. | ||
|
||
# Pro Blocklist | ||
|
||
Paying users' blocklist contains IPs that mirror their installed scenarios, regardless of whether they report attacks for those. | ||
|
||
The `pro` blocklist content has no size limit, unlike free users. | ||
|
||
# Degraded Blocklist | ||
|
||
Free users that are not actively contributing to the network or that have been flagged as cheating/abusing the system will receive a `degraded blocklist`. This Blocklist is capped at 3 thousand IPs. | ||
