Oh, so this only works for a subset of the internet? That makes more sense. Are there blacklists for IPs like there are for spam domains?



Various companies will sell you a list of currently known malware domains (like spammer lists) which you can feed into a router to create blocks for them. Is that what you are asking?


Well, sometimes the black hole route leaks out. A (the???) Pakistani telco was blocking YouTube inside the country, but accidentally advertised itself as the shortest route to YouTube for a good chunk of the world. This was back sometime around 2008-2010.
