Advanced IP ban manager
What is it/What does it do? This is intended as a replacement for the ip bans under vbulletin options. It allows for timed ip bans, cidr ranges and attatching reasons to bans. It also features registration only ip bans allowing members who may be effected by an ip ban to continue using the forums, but blocking registrations and ip ban exempts so that you can ban a large range of ips and let through a smaller subset of them. Features
Backup db. Upload files from zip. Import product. Refresh admincp. Once Version 0.3 is installed; upload the attached php file into your admin cp to replace the one already there. This file fixes a couple of minor issues for some people. Changelog
Notes This has been tested on 3.7.2 but should work on 3.6.x, 3.7.x and 3.8.x This mod has not been tested on vbulletin 4; a separate, improved vbulletin 4 version can be found HERE Access is now controlled by an admincp permission however no control over ip banning is done. This variable can be used in the config file to prevent banning any ip/range of ips that contain the ips listed in it: $config['SpecialUsers']['unbannableips'] = "127.0.0.1|127.0.0.2"; Ips should be separated by a | symbol. This will not effect any bans that are already in place. Bans are limited to a cidr range of 4. (This should be more than enough) If you require a ban that covers more than this, it should be set in the database. If there is demand for it, I may make the cidr limit optional/changable in future versions. Exempts/bans work by taking the tightest cidr range match. eg if you ban 127.0.0.1/16 and add an exempt for 127.0.0.1/24 the exempt will take precedence, however adding another ban against 127.0.0.1/32 would override the exempt. When uninstalling, the mod will remove the modifications to the admin table, however it is upto you to drop the ipbans table yourself. This has been done in order to preserve the data in that table incase you still want it for something. I've added a file which was created by a member of my admin team, it contains a large list of ip addresses from which A lot of malignant traffic seems to come from. If you are having trouble with spam bots this list may help in preventing them from registering. To use the file visit the url : <your forum url>/admincp/ipban.spambots.php It will ask you to log in to your cp then display a blank page; this is to be expected as all its doing is inserting into the database. It will add approximately 140 bans; so they've been coded NOT to show up in the ip ban list. This feature is something i plan to expand on with a full interface for viewing, creating, adding and removing ip blocklists, but for now this mechanism is what i've come up with. Support As all of my boards have been upgraded to vbulletin 4, I am no longer actively maintaining any of my vb3.x mods. Free support for all of my 3.x mods is being removed from the 31st of March 2010 after this date, I will only be offering paid support for 3.x mods; downloading and usage of the mods will remain free but unsupported. Please pm me for support of 3.x mods as I will not be checking their threads very often. [S]Support is now offered as this is a beta release. I'll be checking vborg from time to time but for critical support issues, you are best contacting me on my own forums. I'm hoping that this version (0.3) is bug free, so this can be considered a release candidate version.[/S] I've uploaded a fixed php file for some people who were having problems with short php tags and other parse errors. This needs to be uploaded to the admin cp. The file will be added into the zip once in the next release. This mod [S]will be [/S] has been upgraded to support vb4 The vbulletin 4 version will be released once the beta goes public. Extra features in vb4.0 version:

Could I please have an example on how to use this ? I know how to ban IP Ranges in PLESK etc. so there its simple. For an example below I would like to know what to enter. I hope you can help me with that so I understand it correctly.
That is the IP range that I would like to Ban. Code:
IP: 94.0.0.0 - 94.15.255.255 Code:
CIDR: 94.0.0.0/12 Wolfseye |

Hm, the registration thing doesnt seem to be working. No matter what I put under that field it bans the IP for everything, not just registration.

jesus: what vb version are you using?
kfiasche81: what integration would you like? All that is is a list of what ips come from what country... tlwwolfseye: ban for 94.0.0.0 cidr set to 12 however the code (for safety reasons) is set to block ip bans over too large a range; so you will need to edit ipbans.php and change the 16 on lines 85 and 87 to 12. caltek: what ips caused errors, which ones worked? |

That seems like a print out of the code... well; some of it anyway - my suggestion is to upload a fresh copy of ipbans.php to your admincp dir.
If you wait an hour or so before doing that - i'm putting the finishing touches to V 0.3 Edit: V0.3 is out now, i suggest you upgrade to that and see if that solves the problem |

Installed v 0.3 and get this error when I try to add an IP:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '(', expecting '}' in ipbans.php on line 121 Also note that when I try to add an IP that starts with '1' I get 0.0.0.0 showing up. ( i.e. 192.1.243.1 shows up as 0.0.0.0 ) |
