Currently in "vBulletin Options" > "User Banning Options" > "Banned IP Addresses" it is possible to ban individual ip addresses. You can also use "*" as a wildcard for more flexibility.

I need a way to ban entire ip ranges like "58.14.0.0 58.25.255.255". To ban this entire ip range i currently have to type into the above mentiones option:

58.14
58.15
58.16
58.17
58.18
58.19
58.20
58.21
58.22
58.23
58.24
58.25

It would be perfect if I could simply insert

58.14.0.0 58.25.255.255

and the entire ip range would be banned.

I thought if you did this : 58.14.0.0* it would ban a string of IP's?

For how I understand it:

58.14.0.0* will ban 58.14.0.0 to 58.14.0.099

and

58.14 will ban 58.14.0.0 to 58.14.255.255

But what if I like to ban 58.14.0.0 to 58.19.255.255?

Then I need to do:

58.14
58.15
58.16
58.17
58.18
58.19

I'm looking for a mod that allows me to ban entire ranges at once.
