Understanding how IP address categories work

Last updated on 04 Dec, 2025

What is it about?

The Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) team at OGO maintains a mapping of the risk level of public IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

Four categories are involved in the evaluation of the OGO Brain and are also available for specific configurations (Advanced/Expert Mode):

Category

Description

Tor

Exit node IPs of the Tor network

VPN

Exit IPs of free and commercial VPN solutions

Open proxies

Exit IPs of open proxies available on the Internet

Malware / Botnet / Command & Control

Exit IPs of networks hosting malware, botnets, and C2 servers

 

They are updated every 30 minutes based on multiple internal and external information sources.

How does the OGO Brain use it?

Default: Aggravating Factor

If an anomaly is detected, the credibility of the IP will be more strongly impacted if it belongs to a dangerous category.

The "Forbid" Mode

By enabling "Forbid", you can instruct the Brain to instantly block any traffic coming from a category if OGO’s confidence that the IP belongs to this category is higher than the Forbid min. confidence.

The confidence that an IP belongs to a category is calculated based on the number of times the IP appears across different sources for the same category.
