Hey Bruce,

How can this be possible:

A user "from china" with ip adress: 117.22.69.43 just created an account on my forum v. 10.16.

But in my block list i have this added:

17.22.*.* spam brugere
117.22.0.* spam

It shouldnt be possible fore the user to even create an account right.?

Seams like the ip adress blocking dosent work.?

Regards

André - Denmark

To block IP addresses in the range 117.22.0.0 to 117.22.255.255 you need to use:-

17.22.*

What you presently have with 17.22.*.* is an incorrect format and would not work.

117.22.0.* would block IP's from 117.22.0.0 to 117.22.0.255 and the IP you list 117.22.69.43 falls out side this range.
