IP BLOCK

[mattbernier7]

I'm having an issue with a (1)Personel botting in my server. Using a macros to automatically adjust their attributes. And is spreading things in the server. I need to block their exact IP address from my server. I have the IP Address recorder.

Suggestions?:

If you are running Windows, I would recommend downloading the ipseccmd.exe utility and running a command like this to block the IP entirely:

Code: Select all

ipseccmd -f "0+192.168.1.1"

Replace "192.168.1.1" with his IP.

You also could likely block him at the application level. For instance, in a HL1/Orangebox server, you could use the "addip" command.

didn't work, just opened and closed.

You should be typing that at the command prompt, from the same folder that ipseccmd is in. It will respond something about adding the rule.

Dealing with troublemakers certainly can be a hassle.

You need to open up a command prompt in the same way that our guides say -- by going to Start->Run and typing "cmd.exe". Then, change folders to wherever you put "ipseccmd.exe" via the "cd" command, and execute the command that I gave you.

I would still recommend blocking him through your application instead of the OS, first. Generally, this is easier.

It says the command was successful, but it doesn't even keep them out of the Port.

That is strange. Are you sure that he's connecting with the IP that you are blocking?

You might try testing to see if the block works with a different IP, like www.nfoservers.com -- ping www.nfoservers.com in another window, then add a block for its IP, then try to ping it again; it should time out after the block is added.

And how would I unblock?

[Edge100x]

You can remove all blocks with this command:

Code: Select all

ipseccmd -u

[mattbernier7]

That worked, I just cleared it. I'll try again

[mattbernier7]

[Edge100x]

dragonxone, the command I gave in my last reply will work to remove any IPs that were added using this method.
