MODERATORS
 

The Monero Research Lab (MRL) has decided to recommend that all Monero node operators enable a ban list

  • Download the ban list and:

./monerod --ban-list

explain the need of a ban list? And how it works?

Adding the ban-list to your Monero GUI wallet or your Monero node prevents connections from being made to other nodes that are suspected of harming the Monero network. You don't have to add a ban list, it's voluntary, just an official recommendation. But everyone who adds a ban-list contributes to the security of Monero.
