Bans
Tinyboard currently accepts three forms of bans:
- IP address (“static”) bans
- Range/wildcard bans
- CIDR netmask bans
Static bans apply to a single IP addess, such as “127.0.0.1” and “::1” for IPv6.
IP range bans allow the use of the asterisk character (*) as a wildcard. For example, “127.0.0.” or just “127.0.” would match “127.0.0.1”. To use this, $config['ban_range'] must be enabled.
$config['ban_range'] = true;
With CDIR netmask bans, “10.0.0.0/8” would match “10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255” for example. Due to MySQL limitations, this is currently an IPv4-only feature. To use this, $config['ban_cdir'] must be enabled.
$config['ban_cidr'] = true;
