Hi, There
As your information, I'm totally get it. Blocking all of AS8075 will break legit Microsoft stuff. Here’s the clean, low-drama way to block Azure VPS abuse without hurting real Microsoft services.
- Allow first, then block. Use Microsoft’s official feeds: M365 Endpoints + Azure Service Tags (only the tags you need, e.g.,
AzureFrontDoor.Backend). Avoid broad tags likeAzureCloud. - Keep Bingbot. Allow only if reverse DNS ends with
search.msn.comand forward-resolves back to the same IP. - Block the rest. Drop AS8075 (and other cloud ASNs) except what’s on your allowlists.
- Optional hardening. Add an IP-intel “hosting/cloud” category block to catch generic VPS/proxy ranges.
- Automate. Nightly job to refresh the M365 + Service Tags JSON and update your firewall/WAF objects.
