IP Block
The module "IP Block" blocks visitors from IP addresses you list: their comments, guestbook entries and short URLs, and their use of the disposable e-mail addresses. It also adds a "Ban IP" button to the comment list in the admin area.
Compatible with:
The module is included in the script package. Install it in the admin area under Modules, then switch it on in its settings.
How this module works
The module compares the IP address of a visitor with your block list. What happens with a listed address depends on the script:
- News Script, Guestbook Script and Comment Script: comments and entries are rejected or held back for your approval
- Short URL Script: the visitor cannot create short URLs
- Disposable E-mail Script: the visitor cannot use the mailbox pages
You do not have to type the addresses yourself: the module adds the button "Ban IP" to the comment list of the admin area. One click puts the address of an unwanted comment on the block list. The module Content Block can add addresses to the list automatically.
Settings
