Monitoring

We implement comprehensive monitoring to ensure compliance with security requirements and provide transparency:

Current Monitoring

• Measurement results are made public through our datasets (see datasets section)
• Abuse contact monitoring to handle complaints

Future Enhancements

• Automated daily IP reputation checks to detect if peering prefixes appear on public blocklists
• Per user probe statistics to track usage patterns and detect anomalies
• Target blocklist filtering to prevent probes from reaching blocked destinations, regardless of TTL value
