Trend Micro maintains several databases that contain approved or blocked IP addresses. One of those databases is the Global Approved List.

The Global Approved List list contains authenticated IP addresses known to come from approved senders. IP addresses in this list are automatically approved and can pass through the network.

You can request Trend Micro to add your IP address to the Global Approved List. After receiving a request, Trend Micro starts an investigation to determine if the IP address can be included in the database.

Note:

Provide all the necessary information on each of the following tabs to ensure that Trend Micro can conduct a full investigation. You may also be asked to provide more information if the provided information are not enough.

  1. Open https://servicecentral.trendmicro.com/en-us/ers/.
  2. Go to IP Reputation > Global Approved List.
