[HowTo] Tweak IP banning · **Released**: 06-07-2003

Well, while creating my spider IP-Hack, I've tweaked the IP-scanning fron the banip-function, so it's much faster now.

I'm using it for the IP-banning function in order to reduce server load, since we're banning a huge list of proxy-IPs from our forums. A single user won't recognize anything, but this could reduce server-load a little.

PS: I would be happy, if you only click install, if you really installed it. I need to know who is using it and I need some feedback from user, that really use it.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry, I've copy&pasted the wrong piece of code into the find-part.

Please rehack.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

So this just increases the speed of the ip banning check?

Yes. If you have IP banning turned on, that is.

A single user won't recognize any difference, but this could reduce server load on a busy forum with a big list of banned IPs.

It's useless if you have IP-banning turned off or a small forum.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
