Ban IP range from chat rooms

[DarkElves]

is there a script that can ban  for all one provider from entering a chatroom such as like for example

i wish to ban all users that start with 172.xxx.xxx.xxx

anyone  know of a script for this?

[SamSeeSam]

Mabye you can add it to the firewall?
That is a lot of Ips by the way. lol

Cheers

[DarkElves]

yes but it will keep  the only person  i hate the most out of my room for good until they of course change provider

[DarkElves]

and those who know me know who i mean... hence the 172

[DarkElves]

perhaps there is a way to do it in fx server i dunno... but hope someone knows how to do it

[DarkElves]

would like to thank the person who sent me the way to ban the ip range through msg

they know who they are and it was appreciated... and it works...


finally i get some peace and quiet in my room once again

thanks winmxworld

Hi Darkelves,
the way i would recommend is to use a script available, it works on the 1st and 2dn lot of numbers and best have it on a usergroup, either a safe list or a bad list, this is ok for an fxs room

Code: [Select]

//Put all partial IP here to ban ((It will kick the first 2 numbers of the IP)).
<OnEnter type="script" usergroup="!NOban">
<out type="push" extdata="1302"><operator type="strrfind" lvalue="%USERVAR[1301]%" rvalue="."/></out>
<out type="push" extdata="1303"><operator type="strleft" lvalue="%IP%" rvalue="%USERVAR[1302]%"/></out>
<out type="script" condition="==" lvalue="%USERVAR[1303]%" rvalue="172.000">/kickban %NAME%</out>
</OnEnter>

<usergroup name="NOban" case="1">
*regulars here*
</usergroup>

banning all of AOL is perhaps a little extreme, especially considering at a very least you can easily restrict the ban to only a single country - AOL use different IP Addresses for different countries (although there is a rare case where a user is allocated an address for a different country, it is 99.999% effective to just block the IP Addresses for their country)

look at the IP Addresses they use and you'll see they always come from the same ranges

for example AOL users in the UK are normally in 172.200.0.0-172.216.255.255

banning an entire countries AOL users is still banning a lot of users, but would at least allow AOL users from other countries to join

172 is AOL.. meaning.. u wud be banning everyone on AOL in US and UK..

pretty unwise..

thats why you attach a usergroup to it with ether !safe for safe names or a bad one for names that have been a problem and you don't want them back

[DarkElves]

good point KM .... perhaps ill have a look into that a little further ... i do know it is 172.200 and up  so far that i seen  their ip was... but unfortunatly if thats what it takes to give me peace of mind  so be it.. so far they tried getting in  but was very unsuccessful  rofl.. which made me  very happy and content .. it is however ashame i refuse aol... but there isnt an alternative.. im just tired of this person since last April  this person has been doin this.. and i wont get into details on here about it cause i have brought it up before ... anyways  ill look further into it KM  and maybe just ban like you said and use a certain range

but i do know that ban sure does work well

i love it i wish i had it monthsssssssssssssss ago

dont you think its rather extreme to ban all aol users
just to stop one person
if this person has any sense he/she will be using an ip hider
so the  only people you will be hurting is other aol users who just want to chat and d/l files
but if it is as bad as you say
why not password your room then only the  "person" or persons you invite can enter your room i  think this would make more sense than a blanket ban on innocent people

[DarkElves]

abqaiq animal

you are the reason i banned all aol... we wont get into this on winmxworld   so dont play innocent with me

[abqaiq animal]

oh you were refering to me ?????
thought it was cord you were getting at
well m8 you can let aol back on as i changed providers at the same time as my girlfriend
