Cloud service IP addresses

To locate the nearest cloud data center, refer to the following article in the Forcepoint Knowledge Base, which contains a list of the Forcepoint cloud service data centers and their locations: Cloud service data center IP addresses and port numbers.

To forward traffic to a particular data center:
  1. Use the article above to determine the appropriate country and city, as well as the data center name (usually a single letter or short code).
  2. Perform a DNS lookup using a data center-specific DNS name in the following format:
    cluster.NAME.SERVICE.global.blackspider.com

    Where NAME is the letter or code for the data center, and SERVICE indicates either cloud (“webdefence”) or hybrid (“hybrid-web”).

    This returns the service IP address for the specified cluster. For example:

    • Cloud (webdefence):
      $ nslookup cluster.x.webdefence.global.blackspider.com
Name: cluster.x.webdefence.global.blackspider.com
Address: 85.115.33.180
$ nslookup cluster.g.webdefence.global.blackspider.com
Name: cluster.g.webdefence.global.blackspider.com
Address: 208.87.233.180
    • Hybrid (hybrid-web):
      $ nslookup cluster.x.hybrid-web.global.blackspider.com
Name: cluster.x.hybrid-web.global.blackspider.com
Address: 85.115.33.150
