Daily Firewall Report - February 11, 2026

[github-actions[bot]]

Executive Summary

This report analyzes firewall activity across 18 unique workflows and 46 workflow runs over the past 7 days (February 10-11, 2026). The firewall system successfully monitored and controlled network access across all agentic workflows, with a notable emphasis on blocking unauthorized access to development infrastructure.

The analysis reveals a 71.3% block rate, primarily driven by attempts to access proxy.golang.org (a legitimate Go package proxy). The majority of blocked requests (1,090 out of 1,704) were to unknown destinations ("-"), indicating DNS lookup failures or malformed requests that the firewall correctly prevented. Only 2 unique domains were actually blocked, suggesting effective allowlist configuration with minimal false positives.

🔢 Key Metrics

Network Activity (7 days):

• 🌐 Total Requests: 2,390 network requests monitored
  • ✅ Allowed: 686 requests (28.7%) - Successfully reached their destinations
  • 🚫 Blocked: 1,704 requests (71.3%) - Prevented by firewall rules
• Block Rate: 71.3%
• 🔒 Unique Blocked Domains: 2 domains

Note on Block Rate: The 71.3% block rate indicates that the majority of blocked traffic (1,090/1,704 = 64%) consists of requests to unknown/malformed destinations ("-"), which represents DNS resolution failures or invalid requests. Blocking these is correct behavior. Of the identified domains, proxy.golang.org (300 blocks) and release-assets.githubusercontent.com (3 blocks) account for the remaining blocked traffic.

📊 Firewall Activity Trends

Request Patterns

The firewall request trends show concentrated activity over the past 2 days, with a significant spike in blocked requests. The high block rate is primarily due to unknown/malformed destinations ("-") being correctly rejected by the firewall. Legitimate traffic to AI engines, GitHub APIs, and package registries flows without issues.

Top Blocked Domains

The single most frequently blocked domain is proxy.golang.org with 300 blocks. This is a legitimate Go package proxy service that workflows may need access to for Go dependency resolution. The chart shows this domain dominates the blocked traffic among identified domains.

🏆 Top Blocked Domains

Domain	Blocked Count	Allowed Count	Block Rate	Workflows	Category
proxy.golang.org:443	300	0	100%	CLI Version Checker, CI Failure Doctor, Changeset Generator, Terminal Stylist, Test Workflow	Development

Key Observation: proxy.golang.org is the Go package proxy used for dependency resolution. This domain appears to be legitimately needed by workflows that build or verify Go packages, yet it's being blocked 100% of the time (300 requests across 5 workflows).

View Detailed Request Patterns by Workflow

CLI Version Checker (346 blocked, 71 allowed)

The CLI Version Checker workflow shows the highest blocked request count at 346 requests, with 296 blocks to proxy.golang.org. This workflow checks for CLI tool updates and requires Go package proxy access.

Domain	Blocked Count	Allowed Count	Block Rate
proxy.golang.org:443	296	0	100%

Analysis: The workflow successfully allows access to API endpoints (anthropic.com, github.com, npmjs.org) but blocks Go proxy access, suggesting a missing allowlist entry.

---

CI Failure Doctor (28 blocked, 15 allowed)

Domain	Blocked Count	Allowed Count	Block Rate
proxy.golang.org:443	1	0	100%

Analysis: The workflow attempted 1 request to proxy.golang.org, which was blocked. The workflow appears to be diagnosing CI failures that may involve Go builds.

---

Terminal Stylist (45 blocked, 13 allowed)

Domain	Blocked Count	Allowed Count	Block Rate
proxy.golang.org:443	1	0	100%

Analysis: One blocked request to Go proxy, suggesting the workflow may be checking code or dependencies that require Go tooling.

---

Test Workflow (37 blocked, 14 allowed)

Domain	Blocked Count	Allowed Count	Block Rate
proxy.golang.org:443	1	0	100%

Analysis: Test workflow blocked from accessing Go proxy for dependency resolution.

---

Changeset Generator (10 blocked, 10 allowed)

Domain	Blocked Count	Allowed Count	Block Rate
proxy.golang.org:443	1	0	100%

Analysis: Equal allowed/blocked traffic. Go proxy access blocked, while OpenAI API access is allowed.

---

Other Workflows with Blocked Traffic

The following workflows had blocked requests but no identifiable blocked domains (all blocks were to unknown destinations "-"):

• Chroma Issue Indexer: 132 blocked, 43 allowed (75.4% block rate)
• Auto-Triage Issues: 69 blocked, 43 allowed (61.6% block rate)
• Daily Syntax Error Quality Check: 52 blocked, 20 allowed (72.2% block rate)
• Daily Team Evolution Insights: 45 blocked, 16 allowed (73.8% block rate)
• Auto-Assign Issue: 44 blocked, 18 allowed (71% block rate)
• Step Name Alignment: 35 blocked, 24 allowed (59.3% block rate)
• Smoke Codex: 22 blocked, 14 allowed (61.1% block rate)
• Plan Command: 21 blocked, 10 allowed (67.7% block rate)
• PR Triage Agent: 16 blocked, 8 allowed (66.7% block rate)
• Security Guard Agent 🛡️: 9 blocked, 15 allowed (37.5% block rate)
• Agent Container Smoke Test: 7 blocked, 8 allowed (46.7% block rate)
• Smoke Project: 7 blocked, 7 allowed (50% block rate)
• Test Dispatcher Workflow: 4 blocked, 6 allowed (40% block rate)

Pattern Analysis: These workflows show consistent block rates between 37-75%, with all blocked traffic going to unknown/malformed destinations. This suggests DNS resolution failures, invalid proxy requests, or attempts to access services not explicitly allowed by the firewall.

Complete List of Blocked Domains

Domain	Total Blocks	Category	Workflows Affected
proxy.golang.org:443	300	Development	CLI Version Checker (296), CI Failure Doctor (1), Changeset Generator (1), Terminal Stylist (1), Test Workflow (1)
release-assets.githubusercontent.com:443	3	CDN	Unknown workflow (not in aggregated data)

Note: The domain release-assets.githubusercontent.com:443 appears in the global blocked domains list but doesn't show up in per-workflow breakdowns, suggesting it was blocked in a workflow that otherwise had no blocked traffic to report.

🔍 Security Recommendations

1. Allowlist Go Package Proxy for Development Workflows

Issue: proxy.golang.org is blocked 300 times across 5 workflows, preventing Go dependency resolution.

Recommendation: Add proxy.golang.org:443 to the network allowlist for workflows that need to build or verify Go packages:

• CLI Version Checker
• CI Failure Doctor
• Terminal Stylist
• Test Workflow
• Changeset Generator

Frontmatter Addition:

network:
  allowed:
    - "proxy.golang.org"

2. Investigate Unknown Destination Blocks

Issue: 1,090 requests (64% of blocked traffic) went to unknown destinations ("-").

Recommendation: Review firewall logs to understand what these requests represent. Potential causes:

• DNS lookup failures (domain doesn't exist)
• Malformed HTTP requests (invalid URLs)
• Proxy configuration issues
• HTTPS CONNECT requests without proper destination

Action: Enable detailed logging in Squid proxy to capture more context about these "-" entries.

3. Review GitHub Asset Access

Issue: 3 requests to release-assets.githubusercontent.com were blocked.

Recommendation: If workflows need to download release assets (binaries, archives), consider adding:

network:
  allowed:
    - "release-assets.githubusercontent.com"

However, verify this is intentional and not an artifact of a workflow attempting to download unvetted binaries.

4. Monitor Firewall Performance

Observation: The 71.3% block rate is high. While this indicates the firewall is working, it also suggests workflows are attempting many connections that fail.

Recommendation:

• Track block rate over time to identify trends
• Investigate workflows with >70% block rates for potential misconfigurations
• Consider adding a metric dashboard for firewall health

5. Security Posture Assessment

Strengths:

• ✅ Firewall successfully prevents unauthorized outbound connections
• ✅ Only 2 unique domains blocked, indicating tight allowlist control
• ✅ All major AI engine endpoints (anthropic.com, openai.com, githubcopilot.com) are properly allowed
• ✅ Package registries (npmjs.org) have appropriate access

Areas for Improvement:

• ⚠️ High number of unknown destination blocks needs investigation
• ⚠️ Go proxy access needs allowlisting for development workflows
• ⚠️ Asset download capabilities may be restricted unnecessarily

📌 Summary Statistics
