vb.org Archive - Ubuntu Server Firewall blocking

I've got my server all set up, and today I found the need to enable the firewall. I have spam-o-matic installed, i have configured my htaccess to

Code:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://*.vhoster\.org [NC,OR]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://*vhoster\.org [NC,OR]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://.*vhoster\.org [NC]

RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^91\.

RewriteRule .* - [F] 



order allow,deny

deny from 91.

deny from vhoster.org

deny from *vhoster.org

allow from all

something has to be wrong in that...

nothing is blocking this damn auto reg/post bot. well spam-o-matic's doing a good job keeping it from registering but, occasionally one slips through. its just annoying, and the problem is, the IP keeps changing.

so i enabled UFW and got that all set up but i cant figure out how to block "IPs begining with"

i have tried the following commands

Code:

ufw deny from 91*

Code:

ufw deny from 91/24

Code:

ufw deny from 91.*

Code:

ufw deny from 91

Code:

ufw deny from 91.

so how can i prevent this dang bot from accessing my site....?

--------------- Added [DATE]1461080252[/DATE] at [TIME]1461080252[/TIME] ---------------

I think this may have done it

Code:

ufw deny OUT from any to 91.200.12.64/32

ufw deny OUT from any to 91.200.12.0/22

ufw deny from 91.200.12.64/32

ufw deny from 91.200.12.0/22

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2016/04/20.png

htaccess:

Code:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^91\.200\.12\.64$ [NC]

RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^91\.200\.(0*1+[2-5]+)\.([0-2]+[0-5]+[0-5]+)$

RewriteRule .* - [F,L]



order allow,deny

deny from 91.200.12.0/24

allow from all

and for a little more i threw this on the server
https://github.com/pushinginertia/ip...blacklist.conf

and added the ip ranges there too

anyone else got any more tips?
