so if i want to ban a user with the 127.0.0.1 (dynamic) i might set the cidr to 8? so ALL the 127.0.0.xxx (or xxx.0.0.1, 127.x.0.1, 127.0.x.1) are banned?

i think this is a very useful tool ... but i don't understand how it works ... :S

setting it to 8 would be all of 127.x.x.x To ban 127.0.0.x you need to set it as 24 (32-8)

This wikipedia article explains Cidr ranges in a lot of detail. For a basic idea, take a look at the table about half way down the page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classle...Domain_Routing

Can you include the ability to ban ip ranges?
And for me it doesen´t work. Everytime it bans ip 0.0.0.0

it does ban ip ranges, thats what the cidr is for.

/me thinks this needs some admin help popups... expect them when i release an update.

mathew: what are teh other settings for your ip ban? what vb version are you using?

I ve tried to Ban IP 203.160.1.43 but every try it bans IP 0.0.0.0 ??? Dont know why ??? Pls Help Carnage Thank you so much

so this is ok for 3.7.3?

i've not tested on 3.7.3 however there shouldn't be any problems.

@angeldevil, what vb version are you using? What other values are you adding the the form?

im using Vbb 3.7.2
