Block IP-Adresses

[musicscore]

I'm using the Frontend-user module and someone (from Japan with ip-adres 210.150.10.116) is trying to login, again and again.
Is it possible to blok an IP-Adres  (or hostname) totaly from the site build with cmsms.

No, FEU doesn't have that functionality in it.  but you can block that with apache and .htaccess rules.
also, the newer version of FEU has captcha support if you have the captcha module.  Which will thwart any automated brute force attempts.

Is it possible to block an ipadres from accessing the website completely (maybe with ipblocker ?)

Add to your .htaccess:

Code: Select all

order allow,deny
deny from 11.22.33.44
deny from 22.33.44.55
allow from all

And put the right IP in there.
If you want to block an entire range, that's possible too, just drop the last part (11.22.33.44 becomes 11.22.33)

This will serve the culprit a 403 Forbidden status code.

Rename your admin directory while you are at it, and make sure htaccess and config.php are with limited permissions.
