Blocking Ip Ranges

[mrmike987]

How can I block an IP range like this: 62.56.129.128 - 62.56.129.159

[GvilleRick]

You can add a deny from 62.56.129 in your htaccess file to block the entire range from 62.56.129.0 to 62.56.129.255.

You can add a deny from 62.56.129 in your htaccess file to block the entire range from 62.56.129.0 to 62.56.129.255.

 

 

But I only want to block the range above. Do have to put in every address or is there a shortcut

As GvilleRick actually said just add 62.56.129. to your htaccess file as

 

deny from 62.56.129.

 

there is something to put before it but I forget.

I did a google search and found this:

 

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^aaa\.bbb\.(23[2-9]¦24[0-2])\. [OR]

RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^aaa\.bbb\.243\.([0-9]¦[1-9][0-9]¦1[0-4][0-9]¦15[0-1])$

RewriteRule .* - [F]

 

where aaa and bbb are the first respectively second '***' from your range. Be sure to replace the broken pipe characters ¦ with the real ones from your keyboard.

 

Adapt it to your range.

Seriously over complicated there

 

>order allow,deny
deny from 62.56.129.
allow from all

 

hxxp://www.javascriptkit.com/howto/htaccess5.shtml is a great source of htaccess info.

But he doesn't want to block the entire block of address, just a range of addresses.

[carbonize]

Ah yes you're right. Nasty habit I have of speed reading forums.

 

Using my method he could use

 

deny from .satcom-systems.net

 

but for some reason the server doesn't always get the hostname of visiting ip addresses.

Within IP Deny Manager:

 

You can specify denied IP addresses in the following formats:

10.5.3.3 Single IP Address

10.5.3.3-10.5.3.40 Range

10.5.3.5-40 Implied Range

10.5.3.3/32 CIDR Format

10. Implies 10.*.*.*

 

So in your case, you could use any one of the following formats:

62.56.129.128/27

62.56.129.128-159

62.56.129.128-62.56.129.159
