The Monero Research Lab (MRL) has decided to recommend that all Monero node operators enable a ban list
https://github.com/Boog900/monero-ban-list/blob/main/ban_list.txt
- Download the ban list and:
./monerod --ban-list <file-path-to-ban-list>
🧐 https://gist.github.com/Rucknium/76edd249c363b9ecf2517db4fab42e88
Node operators who use this list should subscribe to Boog900/monero-ban-list updates so that a new version can be added when changes are made to the list.
Is this a common issue of ban lists unable to parse subnets or am I the only one because if no one is banning these subnets due to parsing error that is small problem.
Looks like it might be something on your end because I just tried one of the IPs that yours gave an invalid for and it works fine.
Did you manually ban from the monerod terminal? subnet parsing works when manually banning it from cli but seems to have issues when loading automatically ban list. If u loaded it with the ban list and it worked then it is somehow a local issue for me.
I did not do it manually. I loaded in the list and it worked fine.
Don’t worry, it’s not a problem. It’s just that every connection to the potentially spying nodes on this list that is blocked potentially strengthens the Monero network privacy.
