Banning an IP Address from the server

[Maverick]

I am relatively new at this but I need to ban a single IP from the server to prevent unwanted access by an individual. How would I set up an IP Ban to prevent access.

I would love to be able to help. I need to know what game this is for. Unless this is not for a gameserver then the part of the server such as the whole vps or so on. Please let me know and I will try to respond here asap.


Thanks

Oh boy. This is not a game I am familiar with... Hopefully we can find an hours though. Please allow me some time to research this. And maybe there is a way to prevent it by the software on the machine instead of the server software. I will try to do some research on this. And maybe someone else out there has the answer already handy.

If you're running Windows and you'd like to block a single external IP, I'd recommend installing the ipseccmd.exe utility and running a command like this:

ipseccmd -f "0+xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"

Where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address you'd like to block.

You could also enable the standard Windows firewall and block the IP that way, but using IPSec is a bit lighter-weight (and temporary by default, so it's easy to undo mistakes, via a reboot).

Glad John was able to throw that out there the magic man himself.

Best of luck.
