what settings did you use for the ban?

this mod dosn't ban user accounts associated with a ban; only blocks that ip from accessing the site. If its the only ip the user uses, then they won't be able to post, if they have several ips then yes, they will still be able to post.

A handy little mod, had to tweak ipbans.php for mySWLi but besides that a pretty smooth install.

One issue I am having though is enabling the registration option doesn't work, the registration field in the IP ban list stays at "No" and still functions as a blanket ban for anyone in the specified IP range.

I can manually issue a SQL query to set the "registration" value to 1 which causes the Reg ban to function and sets "No" to "Yes" in the ipban list although I'd prefer avoiding that extra step every time I ban a range of spambots.

I really need this mod but for some reason it doesn't work for me or maybe it does but I don't understand it.

If I add the IP address:184.11.244.2

It bans the IP address: 126.255.255.255

Why is that?

(I altered those IP addresses just a little)

Thanks for this wonderful add-on.

A quickquestion if I may - what does a person from a blocked IP see? do they just get a "cannot display this page" type error or do they actually see the "Reason" if one is entered in admincp ?

Also, one suggestion for future versions - a feature enabling banning of a whole country using a two letter code (e.g PK)

I use a firewall (CSF) on our cpanel server which includes this feature, although it applies to all sites across the server which often isn't desireable.

Last but not least, I find this site really useful for finding CIDR ranges - http://software77.net/geo-ip/ (I am not associated with the site in any way, I just use it).

Same problem here. Can you tell me the sql query you use to change it?

never mind i figured it out
update ipban set registration = 1
