.htaccess is the typical way to ban blocks of IP addresses. Although vB has a ban IP feature, I think it only does singles, not blocks. If you were going to ban all the IP in Senegal, for example, you could add the following to your .htaccess file:
Code:
<Limit GET HEAD POST> order allow,deny deny from 41.208.128.0/18 deny from 196.1.92.0/24 deny from 196.1.93.0/24 deny from 196.1.94.0/24 deny from 196.1.95.0/24 deny from 196.1.96.0/24 deny from 196.1.97.0/24 deny from 196.1.98.0/24 deny from 196.1.99.0/24 deny from 196.1.100.0/24 deny from 196.207.192.0/18 deny from 213.154.64.0/19 allow from all </LIMIT> HTH |

I was logging about 25-30 spam attempts per day on my forum, but after adding a simple captcha everything is much better now.
Additionally, most spam bots has the same pattern of crawling problems so I detect those and ban ips automatically. I can't restrict anonymous posts due to the nature of my website (I have support forum). |
