IP addresses, range and domain name formats
You can specify IP addresses, IP range or domain name in the following formats:
Single IP Address – this form will block a single IP address. For example, 192.168.0.1
Range – this format will block a specified range of IP addresses from accessing your website. For example, 192.168.0.1-192.168.0.40
Implied Range – this format will block a specified range of IP addresses from accessing your website. This is an alternative format of the Range format. For example, 192.168.0.1-40
CIDR Format – this format will block a specific subnet of the IP address. For example, 192.168.0.1/32
Implied IP address – this format implies IP address of 192…, where each represents a positive whole number. If you enter 192., the system blocks the access from any IP address that begins with 192.
Domain name – enter the domain name you want to block. The IP Blocker will try to resolve it to an IP address for you. For example, google.com
