Address Added: 169.254.236.25

I am recently seeing wireless notifications about 169.254.235.25 being added. Whois says it is from BLACKHOLE-1.IANA.ORG. What is this? Should I be blocking them,and if so,how?

    Do you know that IP or that domain ?!


    If not, just block them ;)

    How do I block them? I wanted to make sure that this is not a BitDefender domain.


    I looked at the advanced Firewall rules,and among those that came with the BitDefender installation are:


    index 5: allow everything for any application on a an adapter that is "Full Trust"


    index 6: same thing for an adapter that is "Trusted Local"


    index 7: deny everything on a "Blocked" adapter


    The only adapter listed in the Network section are my "wirelss network connection" does this mean that my firewall is open to everything???

    0.0.0.0 169.254.236.25


    to my drivers\etc\hosts file. Does this block it? Was 169.254.235.25 an external site getting into my system or just some internal mechanism (UDP)/ The address of my router is standard 192.......
