Usage Examples - Blocking Perplexity-User IPs

Download the IP ranges

# Download with curl
curl -O https://cloud-ip-ranges.com/download/perplexity-user.txt

# Or download with wget
wget https://cloud-ip-ranges.com/download/perplexity-user.txt

Block with iptables (Linux firewall)

# Download and block Perplexity-User IPs with iptables
wget -O perplexity-user_ips.txt https://cloud-ip-ranges.com/download/perplexity-user.txt
while read ip; do
  iptables -A INPUT -s $ip -j DROP
  iptables -A OUTPUT -d $ip -j DROP
done < perplexity-user_ips.txt

Block with UFW (Ubuntu/Debian firewall)

# Download and block Perplexity-User IPs with UFW
wget -O perplexity-user_ips.txt https://cloud-ip-ranges.com/download/perplexity-user.txt
while read ip; do
  ufw deny from $ip
  ufw deny to $ip
done < perplexity-user_ips.txt

Block with fail2ban (intrusion prevention)

# Create fail2ban filter for Perplexity-User
sudo tee /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/perplexity-user-block.conf << EOF
[Definition]
failregex = ^.*$
ignoreregex =
EOF

# Create jail configuration
sudo tee /etc/fail2ban/jail.d/perplexity-user-block.conf << EOF
[perplexity-user-block]
enabled = true
filter = perplexity-user-block
action = iptables-allports[name=perplexity-user]
logpath = /tmp/perplexity-user_ips.txt
findtime = 1
bantime = -1
maxretry = 1
EOF

# Download IP list and restart fail2ban
wget -O /tmp/perplexity-user_ips.txt https://cloud-ip-ranges.com/download/perplexity-user.txt
sudo systemctl restart fail2ban

Block with pfSense/OPNsense (FreeBSD firewall)

# Create alias table for Perplexity-User IPs
# 1. Download the IP list
wget -O perplexity-user_ips.txt https://cloud-ip-ranges.com/download/perplexity-user.txt

# 2. In pfSense/OPNsense web interface:
# - Go to Firewall > Aliases

About Perplexity-User IP Ranges

These IP ranges are sourced from Perplexity-User's official feed and are updated regularly. Use them to verify that requests claiming to be Perplexity-User actually originate from it, or to rate-limit or block it at the network edge. To opt out of crawling entirely, prefer a robots.txt rule — blocking by IP can prevent the crawler from reading your robots.txt at all. Last update was 36 minutes ago.
