Didn't see it anywhere else on the site. Has someone posted a way to block a certain ip address from accessing dbman? I would like to block all users from a domain starting with 202.

Thanks,

I while back Paul posted a way to get the IP address. After that how you use it is less simple. I suppose it depends if you allow user sign-up and posting without validation.


I suppose you could gather the IP address of any post then add code which returns a special message if the IP address matches some value.

Maybe the better way is to use server settings to block the range of IP address, that I do not know how to do.


here is Paul's post regarding the IP address.

If your host allows you to do so, you could use .htaccess to block users with certain IPs.

This page explains how.
