<div class="IPBDescription">IP / Subnet banned ?</div> It looks like my IP / Subnet has been banned. I have had to resort to a proxy to visit this forum.

<b>Sorry, you are not permitted to use this board </b>

I get this message as soon as I turn off my slow dodgy proxy.

Can someone tell me a good reason my IP / subnet has been banned.

    Hmm. You haven't done anything wrong as far as I know, but we have had cases where we banned an IP range that accidentally included other users. I'll see what can be done about it.

    Problem found.. seeing if I can fix it...
    Ok, change of heart. We had a large ranged banned recently due to a annoying and evading spammer. Spyder and I agreed rebanning is easier/better than keeping another member banned <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    You should be able to connect w/o a proxy now. Sorry for the inconvenience, but I at least hope you understand. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Me and Spyder can see your IP's already <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo--> As for allowing speicific IP's, SPyder and I were looking for it, but it doesn't seem to be a feature...

    Apache or any other modern webserver, IPchains - which comes with every linux distro I've encountered, and a HOST of 3rd party programs (including a native program to BSD I forgot the name of) allows for filtering on IP. I doubt forums would necessarily have it. If you are interested in some ad-hoc PHP code to filter webrequests by IP... enjoy

    <!--c1--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->function get_remote_ip(){
       if (getenv(HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR)){
         $remote_ip = getenv(HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR);
       } else {
         $remote_ip = getenv(REMOTE_ADDR);
       }
       return $remote_ip;
    }

    function authit(){
       $remote_ip = get_remote_ip();
       # Just keep adding eregs. You can use wildcards or more complex logic of course.
       if ((ereg("10.1.1.1", $remote_ip)) ||
           (ereg("10.1.1.2", $remote_ip))){
           $AUTH = 1;
       }
       return $AUTH;
    }

    if(authit()){
    ....the rest of your webpage.
    }else{
    # For example
    echo "You are banned from these forums.";
    }
