Ban unregistered user by IP?

[Breakthecycle2]

I am getting bombarded by an IP address that has been associated with a hacker. I can't seem to figure out if there is a way to ban an IP address. Is there?

[frupunch]

yes there is...

in vbulletin option, select user banning option, then Banned IP Addresses.

then put the ip address you want to banned...

Thanks!!

BTW, this is the IP address. Everyone should keep a look out in the logs!
204.236.226.210

I have Glow Host, bad behavior and honeypot installed. Is there something else?

[Breakthecycle2]

Alright, well I banned the IP and they are still coming back. What else can I do?

Require people who register go through one or all of these:

email verification

Admin approval (moderation)

Security questions.

I have email verification and security questions and I have yet to have a spammer get through.

I have all that as well. It's not they are getting through, but as I said previously, this IP address is associated with a known hacker or hacker bot. I banned the IP, but they are still showing up up un my Glowhost blocked statistics.

If you have access to a firewall in your site or server control panel. Block the IP with the firewall.

Great. Blocked it through that. Let's see if that works now.
