Block IP Addresses using Map File

[jmille007 Profile]

I'm trying to create a map file with a list of ip address I would like to block.

mapfileBlockedIPs.txt contains one line which is my ip address.

162\.40\.252\.25

I have written a rule to use this list of ip's and return a Forbidden if matched.

RewriteMap mapfileBlockedIPs txt:D:\DLLs\ISAPI\mapfileBlockedIPs.txt
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} (.*)
RewriteCond ${mapfileBlockedIPs:${%1}|NOT_FOUND} !NOT_FOUND
RewriteRule (.*) - [F]

For some reason this never matches and does not block my ip.

When I try the rule without a map file the match does occur and my ip is blocked.

RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} 162\.40\.252\.25
RewriteRule (.*) - [F]

What am I doing wrong?

Hello,

Firstly make you mapfile look like:

Code: Select all

162.40.252.25     162.40.252.25

and edit your rule as in following:

RewriteMap mapfileBlockedIPs txt:D:\DLLs\ISAPI\mapfileBlockedIPs.txt

Code: Select all

RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} (.*)
RewriteCond ${mapfileBlockedIPs:%1|NOT_FOUND} !NOT_FOUND
RewriteRule (.*) - [F]

Andrew
