Good day all!

For the ban ip function under Gossamer Forum Admin-->Users-->Edit bans, is there a way to specify ranges of IP addresses to ban instead of all or nothing masks? Let's say I want to ban 100.50.0.0 to 100.100.255.255. Any ideas on how I could do that?

Thanks!

Hi,

Not easily, AFAIK.

You could do something like this - save as ips.cgi, CHMOD to 755 - and put this code in it:


Then, that would print out the list of IP bans (i.e 100.50.*.* , 100.51.*.* , etc)

Then, putting those into the ban field - *should* work.

Hope that helps.

Cheers

So in the end that's just a cut and paste after having all the ranges generated as text? Thanks!

Hi,

Yup, should work (the script is untested - as I just wrote it =))

Looking at the code. It currently only allows you to specify ranges for the last octet (so, just 10.0.0.1-50). You'll have to use Andy's little script to generate your range.
