AvantGuard - DNSFilter

Overview

This node allows users to delete (destroy) a specific IP address record from the AvantGuard DNSFilter service. It is useful in scenarios where an IP address needs to be removed from filtering or monitoring, such as when decommissioning devices, cleaning up outdated records, or managing network security policies.

For example, if a user wants to remove an IP address that is no longer relevant or should no longer be filtered by the DNSFilter service, this node can be used to perform that deletion programmatically within an n8n workflow.

Properties

Name Meaning
Id The unique identifier (ID) of the IP address to be deleted. This is a required numeric value.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the deletion operation. Typically, this will include confirmation of the deletion or any error messages returned by the API. The exact structure depends on the API response but generally confirms whether the IP address was successfully destroyed.

No binary data output is expected from this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the AvantGuard DNSFilter API.
  • The node communicates with the DNSFilter API endpoint at https://api.dnsfilter.com.
  • Proper configuration of the API authentication credentials in n8n is necessary for successful execution.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Providing an invalid or non-existent IP address ID will likely result in an error from the API indicating the resource could not be found.
    • Missing or incorrect API authentication credentials will cause authorization errors.
    • Network connectivity issues may prevent the node from reaching the DNSFilter API.
  • Error messages and resolutions:

    • "Unauthorized" or similar: Check that the API key credential is correctly configured and has the necessary permissions.
    • "Not Found" or "IP address ID does not exist": Verify that the provided IP address ID is correct and exists in the DNSFilter system.
    • Timeouts or connection errors: Ensure network access to api.dnsfilter.com is available and stable.
