Thread: Block IP Addresses

Block IP Addresses

Is it possible to find IP Addresses of posters both registered and unregistered?

I have a few posters I need to try to block. I know it may be hard to do if they change their IP Address, but I am hoping to discourage them from even bothering.

Thanks,

Chad

Re: Block IP Addresses

Check your server logs. You should be able to figure out a persons IP there.

As for blocking them, you can do this very easily by using .htaccess - assuming your host allows it. (most do)

Check out the link below for instructions on how to do it. It's super simple.

Of course they could use a proxy to still get to your site - but there isn't a heck of a lot you can do about that.

Hope this helps!

Re: Block IP Addresses

I forgot to mention that there are a number of WordPress plugins which will tell you a users IP.

Go into your admin panel -->Plugin's --> Add New --> then enter "ip" in the search box for plugins. A boatload of them should pop up for you. Find one that you like and install it to give it a try.

Hope this helps!

Does anybody have a plug in that works i am using WP-Ban plugin but still the same IP

119.152.51.108
115.187.54.54
115.187.54.54
119.152.51.108
119.157.9.208

comes online and post their **** POST and get rich ads. I am sure they find themes on this forum.

Just ban the IP range and of which I think is a feature of the WP-Ban plugin.

I ban the IP and the next day i see the same IP come back.

This is why you would block an IP range rather than a specific IP address. Wp-ban also allows you to block host names so if the problem seems to come from a specific country you could just block it altogether e.g. *.ru

Maybe this script might be a good solution. I am studying your application .. we'll see!
