What is Pofon?

Still have a question, spotted an error, or have a better explanation or a source we should cite?

uribl.pofon.foobar.hu checks domains.

What the operator says

"pofon doesn't block anyone." Pofon feedback form, read 1 Nov 2026.

What it really measures

Individual hosts doing something wrong. Most entries expire in a few hours, and repeat offenders stay longer.

What to think about

Pofon suggests not asking at all if nobody is actually blocking you. Clean up and wait, since getting removed and listed again lengthens the next stay.

How to get off it

Usually you do nothing, because it expires. If it is causing a real problem, the form asks for the IP or domain, your name, your email, your reason and who the administrator is. Read its terms first: submitting gives the operators wide rights over what you send, including your personal data.

Not sure what this means for you? Ask a person on our free SOS Hotline. Tell us the list and the IP or domain, and we reply within 48 to 72 hours.
