Mas ban accounts based on IP

[JOGARA]

Trying to ban all members that signed up on a single IP. Sadly our spam prevention stopped working and over 1000 accounts signed up using a single IP over a few weeks and now spam the forum like crazy.

Is there any way to mass ban based on IP? Any plugins?

Thanks
Jack

Ban that single address or the whole range in the ACP.
That way they can't sign up.
Users/ Banned IP addresses

A little late here guys, thread is almost 5 months old at this point. Such a simple answer and no one answered it?

A lot of these come from random countries, so I ban the entire country with the two letter code for that country.

If the country is random, how do you ban it?

You may be losing a lot of good users by banning entire countries anyway.

and a lot of them are bots. This is where CloudFlare WAF can become your friend.
When I first engaged this... the number in a 24 hour period was well over 8000. Now after about a month you see what it is. Seems that the bots learn.
