Can Blacklist Module use CIDR format for IP addresses ?

    I seem to have an issue with abuse from Viet Nam this month, and am wondering if I can utilize IP CIDR format in the Blacklist Module.  I do currently have it writing to the root htaccess, but seem to be one step behind these guys as we are entering their IP’s after they have already hit us.

    We keep banning their registrations, but would be much more efficient if I could simple pull a CDIR list from one of the Geo services and have it write out to my htacess to block them before they get to me. 

    other solution ideas are welcome also…

    Hey Brook,

    I am sorry to hear you are running into this problem.

    I do not believe that you can use CIDR notation. That would be great though. I know you can use ranges by playing with IP Address Range.

    I would suggest a Feature Request here. That would be a nice addition.

    Cheers,
