IP Blockhole q's

Apr 20 04 12:17 am

hello,

i really like the IP Blockhole feature but how do i block ip ranges?

example:
"63.103.205.128 - 63.103.205.255" <-- Claria Corporation (aka Gator)
"63.160.54.0 - 63.160.54.255" <-- Double Click

are there (once again) registry tricks for this Pascal/Qbik Team? :)

i hope ip ranges & import/export thingy be available in the upcoming version/s. tnx

I'm not Pascal (I'm much better looking) nor part of the Qbik Team (they're much smarter than me) but currently it looks like you can accomplish what you're looking for by using a subnet mask when you enter the IP address.

e.g. 63.160.54.0 255.255.255.0 should block Double Click

nice intro :) & tnx for the info...

ok, but i had thousands of ip ranges that i'd like 2 block, most of them are bad & fake hosts. is there an easier way to import it? tnx

Unfortunately, not at the moment. You could try creating a few in GateKeeper, checking how they're written to the registry, etc. and then create your own registry import file with search/replace of tokens, but that will probably be a lot of work and could cause problems if there are any mistakes in it. (So, not really recommended ... )
