Overview

This node integrates with the AvantGuard DNSFilter API to verify IP addresses. It allows users to send an IP address verification request and receive detailed information about that IP from the DNSFilter service. This is useful in scenarios such as network security monitoring, threat intelligence gathering, or validating IP reputation before allowing access.

For example, a user might input an IP address suspected of malicious activity, and the node will return data indicating whether the IP is associated with threats or suspicious behavior.

Properties

Name Meaning
Ip Address The IP address to verify, provided as a JSON object containing the IP address details.

The property expects a JSON input representing the IP address creation request parameters. The node parses this JSON and sends it in the body of the API request.

Output

The node outputs JSON data returned by the AvantGuard DNSFilter API related to the IP address verification. This typically includes information such as:

  • Reputation status of the IP address
  • Associated threat categories
  • Geolocation data
  • Any other metadata provided by the DNSFilter service

No binary data output is indicated.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for the AvantGuard DNSFilter service.
  • The node uses the base URL https://api.dnsfilter.com for API requests.
  • Proper configuration of the API authentication token in n8n credentials is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid IP Address Format: Ensure the IP address JSON is correctly formatted; otherwise, the API may reject the request.
  • Authentication Errors: Verify that the API key credential is valid and has not expired.
  • Network Issues: Confirm that the n8n instance can reach https://api.dnsfilter.com.
  • API Rate Limits: If many requests are sent in a short time, the API might throttle or block requests.

Common error messages will likely come from the API response and should be checked against the DNSFilter API documentation for resolution steps.
