What does this 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.

What can I use it for?
This is a much better tool for managing ip bans on your forums. As it has its own permissions, you can grant admins access to it without needing them to have full access to the vbulletin settings. For more details see the features list.

Features
  • A new interface, separate to the options for adding and removing ip bans.
  • Set expiry dates and reasons for ip bans
  • See who set which ip bans
  • Set ip bans by cidr range.
  • Set registration only ip bans (great for stopping spam bots without affecting existing forum users)
  • Set exempt ip bans (ban a large range of ips and only allow select ips through the ban)
  • Define unbannable ips in config.php
  • A range of tools for assisting usage including:
    • Cidr to range calculator (see what range a certain ban will affect)
    • Range to cidr calculator (creates a set of bans to cover any arbitrary range [experimental]
    • Test an ip (enter an ip to see if its banned or not and which if any bans affect it)
    • Whois an ip (get information on who owns (eg which isp) an ip and the cidr range of ips that they own (simplifying blocking users on dynamic ips)) [Dependant on host and server OS]
    • Check if a user is banned (enter a username/userid to see if they are banned or not)

Planned features
  • Ban a user (some sort of integration and automation to ip ban users from their admincp profile)
  • Integration with delete as spam feature to allow automatically ip banning spammers
  • Inport/Export ip bans to share with others and amongst other sites you own
  • Os independent whois and results parsing (eg give novice admins a hand in picking out the important bits)
  • Automatic conversion from old bans into new ones.
  • Phrases for admincp areas (that are currently lacking them)
  • Integrated Admin help

Installation
1. Backup db.
2. Upload files from zip.
3. Import product file.
4. Setup admin permissions for your staff.

Upgrading from 3.6+ version of this mod

Uninstallation

There is a version released for 3.7+ however its now unsupported. Good news is as far as I'm aware this version's admincp file will work with the 3.7 version which brings you all the features that i've added only to the 4.0 version.

You could add an exempt for the AOL block, however a more specific ban will override it. The foolproof solution would be either to add every AOL ip as an exempt OR to make every aol ip unbannable.

This mod wasn't designed to do as you are wanting so its possible but ugly.

Would it be possible to add some sort of check if an IP is part of a proxy service like AOL? The largest problem with banning IPs is when you ban innocent users.

It does feature something which can tell you if a certain user is banned; one of the features I'd like to add is something to show which users are affected by a ban but its a rather intensive search so I need to figure a way to do it efficiently.

Does it work with 4.0.5.?
On the left side of the adcp IP Ban Management appears. But, when I click on List IP Bans, Add IP Ban, or Tools, on the right side I get blank window.
Any solution?
Thnx in advance!

thanks for this it works well for people who do not want to give up all that access that you get if you let someone IP Ban the normal way . Also this is how vB4 should have been released a stable product even at RC.

Can you check all the files uploaded correctly; use the vbulletin suspect files tool in maintenance.

I'm fairly conservative with my version numbers. This product has been under development for a couple of years meaning most bugs have been fixed already, it also runs on my own forums so I want it to be stable. Besides, in true software development rc should be stable - it is a candidate for being released if no (major) issues are found.
