Banned IPs

You may manually add user IP addresses in this location that you wish to ban from all your chat rooms in this Site. Enter one IP address per line for manual ban. Highlight and delete an IP address to un-ban.  You do not need to add data to this field during room creation. If you banned an IP address using the GUI admin console you will find the banned IP here.

 

info_red_sm.jpg HINT: When an IP address appears on this list (i.e. 111.222.333.444), any user who attempts to access your chat room from the IP address will be prevented from doing so. If a Class C IP address is banned (i.e. 111.222.333), any user whose IP address contains the Class C range will be prevented from entering. In extreme cases, you may also ban users from entire ISPs by adding the Class B range (i.e. 111.222) of an IP address, or even the Class A range (i.e. 111) of an IP address to your list of IP addresses. Be aware that when you add the Class B and Class A ranges, you are preventing a greater number of potential users from accessing your chat room.
