➡️ Why Does Rayobyte Blacklist Domains?

To ensure that our residential proxies maintain their ethical reputation (see our ethical sourcing page), we have implemented a policy for domains that can be accessed through our network.

We actively monitor for suspicious activity and have an internal system that alerts us when flagged domains or unusual requests occur. This helps us protect the integrity of our proxy network and prevent misuse.

➡️ What Sites Are on the Blacklist?

Domains and industries commonly blacklisted by our system include, but are not limited to:

❌ Banking, Credit Card, and Other Financial Institution Sites

Most legitimate use cases do not require proxies to access these types of sites.

Examples:

• Banking
  • Wells Fargo
  • Citibank Online
  • Ally
• Credit Card
  • Chase
  • American Express
• Other Financial Institutions
  • TD Ameritrade
  • Ivy Investments

❌ Any Login URL or Authentication Server

These requests are often associated with brute force login attempts rather than legitimate web scraping or data extraction.

Examples:

• Hulu Authentication
• Riot Games Authentication
• Uber Authentication

❌ Mail Servers & Mailing Endpoints

Email spam is a major issue, and we take steps to prevent unauthorized mailing activity through our network.

Examples:

• mail.websitebod.com
• mail.asdfmailk.com
• imap.mail.com
• mail.abcnetworkingu.pl
• mail.ertemaik.com
• imap.gmx.com
• mail.imailzone.com
• mail.hotil.it

❌ API URLs

If you need access to a company’s API, you should set it up through their official system rather than using proxies. Proxies are often used to bypass **terms of service**, making this activity suspicious.

Examples:

• eBay API
• Sony Entertainment Network API
• Coinbase API

➡️ How Does Rayobyte Communicate When a Domain Is Blacklisted?

If our system detects a request to a blacklisted domain, we will:

• ⚠️ Block the domain from being accessed by all proxies on the network.
• ⚠️ Notify affected customers or resellers about the ban.

➡️ Can I Get a Domain Removed from the Blacklist?

To request the removal of a domain from the blacklist, users must provide:

• ⚠️ A list of sample URLs they are trying to access.
• ⚠️ A detailed explanationof why they need access, including:
  • A screencast video walkthrough of their software or project.
  • A documented walkthrough with screenshots showing the extracted data.
  • A written explanation of what data is being gathered and how it is used.
• ⚠️ A written confirmation that the user is not engaging in any illegal activities.

Note: The decision to approve access is entirely at Rayobyte’s discretion.
