How to Ban a IP or IP Range?

[Abhik]

Hello,
I want to ban a IP or a whole IP Range.
It seems vBulletin 4.0.4 don't have a default option for that.

May I know how can I do that?
TIA

You can also try to ban those ip ranges through .htaccess by placing the following code at your .htaccess file:

order allow,deny
deny from ip address range here
deny from ip address range here
allow from all

And replace ip address range here with the ip address ranges that you want to ban. To add more, simply keep adding deny from ip address range here.

You can also redirect them to another page by adding this code:

ErrorDocument 403 http://www.redirectbannedmembers.com//

The url I posted above is an example, you should replace it with that of your own where you want to redirect the banned users.

Hope it helps.

If my 3rd party hoster does not allow me to modify the .htaccess file (I don't believe siteground does)... does vbulletin give us any other options ?

I'm getting spammed heavily from several countries and need to block them off.

that freaked me out when chop-suey came up, but yes VB has a way to ban ips from within the admincp/options/settings/User Banning Options

I already use --> admincp/options/settings/User Banning Options
However, what I need is to ban a RANGE OF IP's
For instance, all IP's from Beijing

Is this do'able ?

I believe they do allow you to modify .htaccess.

Ask them to be sure.

Doh - no that don't ban ranges.

Do ranges through .htaccess and ban the block or CDIR range.
