Banning a whole site
 

Hi,

Was just curious how you ban a whole `pool` of IPs?

Its very annoying to ban a persistant offender for them only to reconnect 1 minute later with a different IP.

Say if you Ban an IP : 123.21.32.149 I know theres a way of banning all IPs from that particular area like IP : 123.21.32.***

Placing the stars where the last 3 digits are bans everyone in that `pool` right? Im not sure so asking you guys, also can I simply place this IP (with the stars) in the `Banned IPs` log of autokick for it to work?

Thanx for input,

p

Hiya prey, not sure if thats possible mate. but will look into it and let ya know.

yea i have no clue either, i know that when u reboot your DSL you get a new IP biggrin:

Not true. I have DSL and I reset modem once a week. My IP has stayed the same for 2 years.

Thanx guys Id really like to know if this is possible, im just tired of kicking the same offenders time and time again!

Yes, it is possible, but I dont know the proper syntax. Someone here will. Redneck - your IP only changes in the last set of numbers, so this type of ban would take care of you even if you reset your modem.

Read this.. it will tell you..

Ok thanx for the feed-back guys, its appreciated.

most dsl got static ip . And most cable got perm ip (some monhts )


If you close your modem for about 24 hours , you got a lot of chance to get a new ip.

Yes, * is the universal "wildcard" for most things. Just put one though..

123.45.678.*

yeah, i have adsl and i have a semi static IP...It'll always stay the same until I manually refresh it with a new one.

Some of my friends have programs that refresh their IPs when ever they get blocked for anything. I have no idea how to refresh them, but if i need to they will help me.

You might be able to find that special program that tracks IPs... I dont know what its called, but i do know its out there.

Awww dammit, I tried the * thing and that didnt work, tried following the link that was also posted, and that didnt work lol Im just gonna have to keep banning them *sighs* thanx for help its appreciated :)

by changing MAC adress?

umm this is hard , and not a lot know how to do that . ANd not all network card cand do that.
ANd your isp will not like this if he know .

Yeah I know gimps can `spoof` their IPs, dont they normally do that before hacking someone aswell?
