Is Barracuda Central blocking your website?

If your site is listed by Barracuda Central — your server IP on the Barracuda Reputation Block List (BRBL), a b.barracudacentral.org listing — it usually means it was hacked or abused at some point. Here is how to get cleaned up and delisted.

Step 1 — Make sure the site is actually clean

Requesting delisting while the problem is still live just gets you re-listed. Check first:

If anything turns up, get it fully cleaned first — removing the visible malware is not enough if a backdoor remains.

Step 2 — Request delisting from Barracuda Central

Barracuda Central takes IP removal requests via a form. Start here: barracudacentral.org/rbl/removal-request

  1. Confirm the listing by looking up your server IP at barracudacentral.org.
  2. Resolve the underlying cause (compromised account, open relay, spam output).
  3. Open the removal-request form and enter the IP, your email, and phone (all required).
  4. Add a clear “Reason for Removal” describing what you fixed.
  5. Wait up to 12–24h for manual review.

Good to know: BRBL is IP-based, so it mainly affects mail/server IPs rather than the domain name. Requests with invalid contact info or duplicates are ignored, and not fixing the cause leads to re-listing.

Step 3 — If it keeps coming back

A listing that returns means the infection or abuse was never fully resolved — usually a backdoor, a rogue admin, or malware in the database. As a USA-based WordPress security specialist I remove it completely, submit the delistings for you, and harden the site so it stays clean.
