How to block a DNS?

New Member Joined: Aug 10, 2004 Posts: 12

In the last few weeks my referer table is filled with lot of porn links. I've checked most of them and they came mostly from 1 DNS but different IP's. Sure I can block all referers through the Referer blocker settings or add all IP's but I was wondering if a DNS could be blocked.

For example:
www . assparade . com was one of the latest of this day. Looking it up on [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ] it results in 1 IP and the nameservers. Looking at all websites hosted on that nameserver I recognize multiple sites which are allready blocked by myself but with different IP's.

Is there I way I can block nameservers?
Maybe I'm looking the wrong way, but I haven't found it yet available in 2.4.0

TIA

When you get their information like

Quote:

NetRange: 66.230.128.0 - 66.230.191.255
CIDR: 66.230.128.0/18

, it's very easy! Just add this line to your .htaccess

Code:

deny from 66.230.128.0/18

That will block

Code:

66.230.128.0 - 66.230.191.255

Yep, your right. Haven't had my thoughts at the .htaccess file because I was looking for a feature in Sentinel. Instead of adding this to the .htaccess, I think the range can also being added to the blocked ranges function in Sentinel now.

It can, but that attempts to block it after it's already into your site, so to speak. Using .htaccess will block it at the Web Server level.
