deny ip range

[dabber]

Hi. Can someone tell if I can deny a range of IP's from a site without entering one at a time? Example: deny IP's 85.0.0.0 through 85.255.255.255

Hello,

You can block the range with the help of iptables

Eg : iptables -A INPUT -s 85.0.0.0/8 -j DROP

HI,

I had this very question

But I don't understand your answer as I'm very, very new to using the Cpanel - and I am a user (not a site admin) looking for answers as my host is clueless... :|

Is there a way to use those iptables as a user, and not an administrator?

If so what, exactly, would I enter into the "Add an IP Deny:" field?

For example I would like to deny access from 217.174.*.*

Thanks for your help!

you need root access and run from comand line SSH

if your host is cluless time to find a new host it a basic linux comand when iptables are installed

Hello,

If you want to use iptables, you should have the root access on the server. But if you use ip deny manager , it will block the ip using .htaccess file . You can add the block of ip using ip.

Eg : 217.174.

Then add, I hope it will help you to add the block of 217.174.X.X ips
