💡 Recommendations

High Priority - Likely Need Allowlisting

These domains appear to be legitimate services that workflows need access to:

1. api.github.com (12 blocks) - Critical for GitHub API operations. Should be allowlisted for workflows that interact with GitHub.

2. github.com (25 blocks) - Essential for repository operations. Review firewall rules to allow authenticated GitHub access.

3. registry.npmjs.org (22 blocks) - Required for npm package installations. Allowlist for workflows that use Node.js/npm.

4. pypi.org (18 blocks) - Required for Python package installations. Allowlist for workflows that use pip/Python.

Medium Priority - Review Required

These domains may be needed depending on workflow requirements:

5. api.openai.com (32 blocks) - If workflows use OpenAI API, this should be allowlisted. Verify if OpenAI integration is intended.

6. anthropic.com (28 blocks) - If workflows use Claude API, this should be allowlisted. Verify if Anthropic integration is intended.

7. docker.io (10 blocks) - Required for Docker operations. Allowlist if workflows pull Docker images.

8. raw.githubusercontent.com (9 blocks) - Often needed for fetching raw files from GitHub repos. Consider allowlisting.

9. cdn.jsdelivr.net (16 blocks) - CDN for open source projects. Generally safe if workflows need frontend dependencies.

10. fonts.googleapis.com (14 blocks) - Google Fonts CDN. Safe to allowlist if needed for UI components.

Low Priority - Current Blocking Acceptable

These domains are less critical and current blocking appears appropriate:

11. stackoverflow.com (8 blocks) - Research/documentation site. Blocking is acceptable unless workflows scrape SO.

12. news.ycombinator.com (7 blocks) - News aggregation. Blocking is acceptable unless workflows monitor HN.

13. reddit.com (6 blocks) - Social content. Blocking is acceptable unless workflows monitor Reddit.

14. twitter.com (5 blocks) - Social media. Blocking is acceptable unless workflows monitor Twitter.

15. example.com (45 blocks) - Test domain. Blocking is correct and expected.

Security Observations

• ✅ No obviously malicious domains detected in the blocked list
• ✅ Block rate (6.6%) is reasonable and not overly restrictive
• ⚠️ AI service domains being blocked may indicate missing allowlist entries for legitimate API usage
• ⚠️ Package registry blocks may slow down or break dependency installations
• 🔍 GitHub API blocks suggest firewall rules may need refinement for GitHub operations

Suggested Actions

1. Update firewall allowlist to include critical infrastructure:

   • api.github.com, github.com, raw.githubusercontent.com
   • registry.npmjs.org, pypi.org

2. Review AI service access requirements:

   • Confirm if OpenAI and Anthropic APIs are needed
   • Add to allowlist if workflows require AI service integration

3. Monitor specific workflows that show high block rates:

   • Firewall Test Agent (85 denied requests)
   • Dev Firewall (68 denied requests)
   • Review if these blocks are intentional or indicate permission issues

4. Test workflow functionality after implementing allowlist changes to ensure no legitimate traffic is being blocked

📊 Trends and Patterns

• Steady block rate across the analysis period suggests consistent firewall behavior
• AI service domains appear frequently, indicating potential need for API access
• Package registries being blocked may impact CI/CD workflows
• No suspicious spikes in blocked traffic, indicating no obvious attack patterns
