majorhayden Posted October 23, 2017 ID:1175195 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Hello there, I've received a few reports that Malwarebytes is blocking access to the domain icanhazip.com. It resolves to the following addresses: 64.182.208.181 64.182.208.182 64.182.208.183 64.182.208.184 2604:7780:200:305:f816:3eff:feb8:e7e2 2604:7780:200:305:f816:3eff:fed7:99b0 2604:7780:200:305:f816:3eff:fe46:27dc 2604:7780:200:305:f816:3eff:fe80:a469 The site only returns the remote user's public IP address and does not distribute anything other than that text. I have operated the site since 2009 and this problem comes up often with various security software. Malware will often be written to use my site (and others) to get the public IP of an infected machine. I do my best to squash those requests when I can reliably identify them, but it's a cat-and-mouse game. I've written a FAQ to explain this in more detail: https://major.io/icanhazip-com-faq/ Please remove this site from the website blocking list if possible. I'm happy to answer any additional questions if needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
