Hi.

To me it’s not really clear if the compromised-ips.txt file below is in the Open-Package, or if it’s Pro.

[https://rules.emergingthreats.net/blockrules/compromised-ips.txt](https://rules.emergingthreats.net/blockrules/compromised-ips.txt)

Is there any overview which list belongs to which ? What licensing model does it use ? Are they also all free to be used by companies ? Not for reselling, just to be used on a GW etc…

KInd regards,  
Franzl
