IP ban

[unknowngiver]

Hey
I am using Vbulletin and this guy is constantly using the Contact us form to send me spam messages for the past 2 months! i get 2 emails every day
i blocked one of his ip by using the .htaccess trick:
deny from IP
but he sends it from another IP
the Pattern that i observed is that all of his IPS contain
195.225.176.[another number]
so is there a way of banning all the ips starting with "195.225.176.*" ??
Thanks

yes, simply add 195.225.176. to your ht access.. If you have cpanel, you can do it from here also..

thats not the full ip tho
the full is something like:
195.225.176.177
195.225.177.190
and so on...the last two numbers usually change

195.225.176. will block all ips that begin with 195.225.176.
