IP Range blocking not working

[paulryanwelch Profile]

Below is the code I use to block some spamming IP addresses. However, records with some of these IPs are showing up in my tracking database. Is there an error in here?

#Block IPs and IP Ranges
RewriteCond %REMOTE_ADDR 64\.120\.21\..*|206\.155\.68\..*|79\.171\.81\..*|213\.13\.186\..*|38\.121\.233\.135|194\.44\.168\.66|94\.180\.79\.251|94\.180\.56\.248|94\.180\.67\.103|94\.180\.29\.5
RewriteRule (.*) $1 [F]

Thanks!

Let's try to slightly edit this rule:

Code: Select all

RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR}  (?:64\.120\.21\..*|206\.155\.68\..*|79\.171\.81\..*|213\.13\.186\..*|38\.121\.233\.135|194\.44\.168\.66|94\.180\.79\.251|94\.180\.56\.248|94\.180\.67\.103|94\.180\.29\.5)
RewriteRule .* - [F]

Thank you very much for the quick reply. I will give it a few days and see if any of these ips start showing in the logs again.

This does not appear to be working. I am still getting hits from the range of 79.171.81...Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Hello,

Well the only reason to find out is to get rewrite.log for a testing request. Instructions regarding looging are in FAQ
What you need to do is to imitate the request from this IP.
