I have identified a particular group of spammers who appear to be coming from the same range of IP addresses. I would like to block these addresses.
I have gone to Admin CP -> Configuration -> Banning -> Banned IPs. I can see how to enter a single address to be banned, but I can't see how to enter an entire range. The instructions say
Does the star in the example indicate a wildcard? If so, what format should this be in?
For example, suppose I wanted to ban IP addresses in the range 59.200.0.0 to 59.207.255.255 (this is just an example that I made up myself), what would I enter in the box?
Thanks in advance.

Quote:use * (Ex: 127.0.0.*) or CIDR notation (Ex: 127.0.0.0/8)
