Jeff Posted January 21, 2012 Report Posted January 21, 2012 I have a very nuisance pecker-head that keeps registering. I need to have his IP address blocked. Is there a way to do this? Every time I delete his registration, he signs up with a new username, but it is always in the same format. This time his username is RerminiErer RerminiErerOC. It is really starting to tick me off as it has happened 15 times in the last 4 days now. Can someone help me? Nabeel, if you are reading this, I am on Fivedev. If I need to open a support ticket on this problem, I will. Someone please send help my way ASAP. Quote
Moderators Kyle Posted January 21, 2012 Moderators Report Posted January 21, 2012 Jeff, I made a custom IP Ban system for my VA that I'm opening soon, and it works well, but a lot of core files to change. It's just a B.S. when people sign up with many different IP's. Possibly, he's using many different proxies. But if it's the same IP, I think Fivedev has CPanel and you should able to ban him. Go to Cpanel, and look for something that has IP Deny Manager or other, and add in the IP that he used. Then he should stop. Quote
Moderators joeri Posted January 21, 2012 Moderators Report Posted January 21, 2012 you can do following in the .htacces iff he uses 1 ip order allow,deny deny from xxx.xx.x.x allow from all replace the xxx with the correct ip Quote
miniarma Posted January 21, 2012 Report Posted January 21, 2012 you can do following in the .htacces iff he uses 1 ip order allow,deny deny from xxx.xx.x.x allow from all replace the xxx with the correct ip Ive had issues with the HTaccess files. kAcars doesnt like it at all. Quote
Moderators joeri Posted January 21, 2012 Moderators Report Posted January 21, 2012 Ive had issues with the HTaccess files. kAcars doesnt like it at all. i have the htaccas files on 4 servers with kacars no problems with that Quote
miniarma Posted January 21, 2012 Report Posted January 21, 2012 i have the htaccas files on 4 servers with kacars no problems with that Strange, Will have to have a look into it and see what the issue was. Thanks Quote
Jeff Posted January 21, 2012 Author Report Posted January 21, 2012 My .htaccess is empty. Is there a certain way to type that in? I'm not sure how to edit that file. Quote
Moderators joeri Posted January 21, 2012 Moderators Report Posted January 21, 2012 like i stated it just change the XXX with the ip Quote
Jeff Posted January 22, 2012 Author Report Posted January 22, 2012 Okay, I was able to get that working. Is there a way that I can use .htpasswd on a certain area (preferably the Admin Center)? Quote
Moderators joeri Posted January 22, 2012 Moderators Report Posted January 22, 2012 why would you need that? Quote
Jeff Posted January 22, 2012 Author Report Posted January 22, 2012 In case that someone gets a hold of a members acct. info that they still can't have access to the Admin Center. Just a little added security. Quote
Jeff Posted January 23, 2012 Author Report Posted January 23, 2012 Never mind. There just happens to be a Password Protect Directory in cPanel that allows you to do just that. Quote
Jeff Posted February 2, 2012 Author Report Posted February 2, 2012 This problem with the registrar keeps changing his IP Address. Is there any more options I can take to keep this A hole from continuing to register? Quote
twelka3 Posted February 2, 2012 Report Posted February 2, 2012 Is there a ip range hes using? If so ban a range ex xxx.xx.x.x - xxx.xx.x.x Quote
Jeff Posted February 2, 2012 Author Report Posted February 2, 2012 Here is his last ones I recorded. They were all from Poland (they are from a new location now). deny from 178.137.160.108 deny from 46.63.202.61 deny from 31.178.7.2 Quote
twelka3 Posted February 2, 2012 Report Posted February 2, 2012 By the looks of it he is using a proxy. Try using this: RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP:VIA} !^$ [OR] RewriteCond %{HTTP:FORWARDED} !^$ [OR] RewriteCond %{HTTP:USERAGENT_VIA} !^$ [OR] RewriteCond %{HTTP:X_FORWARDED_FOR} !^$ [OR] RewriteCond %{HTTP:PROXY_CONNECTION} !^$ [OR] RewriteCond %{HTTP:XPROXY_CONNECTION} !^$ [OR] RewriteCond %{HTTP:HTTP_PC_REMOTE_ADDR} !^$ [OR] RewriteCond %{HTTP:HTTP_CLIENT_IP} !^$ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [F] copy & paste into your site’s root htaccess file. Upload to your server, and test it’s effectiveness via the proxy service(s) of your choice. It may not be perfect, but compared to blacklisting a million proxy domains, it’s lightweight, concise, and very effective Quote
Moderators joeri Posted February 2, 2012 Moderators Report Posted February 2, 2012 or in extreme iff you know its only from polland just block all connections from polland Quote
Tom Posted February 2, 2012 Report Posted February 2, 2012 or in extreme iff you know its only from polland just block all connections from polland Terrible idea. Don't ever block an entire country because one person uses a couple of IP addresses there... Quote
Moderators joeri Posted February 2, 2012 Moderators Report Posted February 2, 2012 i know its a terrible idea thats why i mentiont the "in extreme" Quote
