Do NOT report blacklisted IP-addresses in the comments section!
Noone will read them!
The DNSBL and FraudBL-page is currently undergoing an upgrade as part of a broader rebuild of our DNS-related tooling. The removal functionality applies to entries listed in DNSBL and FraudBL, which has been handled through a traditional database but via direct access to the underlying zone files a while.
Since it doesn’t work properly, the removal service is being modernized and restructured to improve reliability, security, and long-term maintainability. During this period, the existing web-based removal interface is half-way offline (the requests has been reported dysfunctional).
The rebuilt system will introduce a cleaner separation between web tools and API functionality. Removal requests will be handled through a dedicated API endpoint available at https://tools.tornevall.net, allowing for more predictable behavior and better automation support. Also, the DNSBL plugin at WordPress will be upgraded and refreshed.
The upcoming implementation focuses on proper CIDR handling, accurate single-IP removals, and support for server-side usage through a CLI endpoint. Access to CLI functionality will require a manually generated token to ensure controlled and auditable use.
The web interface will return in a new form, protected by modern verification mechanisms such as Captchas and Cloudflare Turnstile. The goal is to reduce abuse while keeping legitimate self-service removals straightforward.
Why the Page Is Changing
Earlier versions of this page relied on legacy components that no longer met technical or security requirements. Rather than patching outdated functionality, the decision was made to rebuild the removal system and related DNS tools as a coherent package.
The new solution will be delivered together with updated DNS utilities and an improved DNSBL Removal Kit, replacing older integrations.

Current Status
The removal tool is under active redevelopment and will return as part of a consolidated DNS toolset with a fully functional DNSBL removal workflow.
