It sounds like they are listed in your Referrer Blocker in Sentinel

Yeah I see the reason but... the IP info I got in the email looks normal. So I am hoping those with Sentinel experience can let me know.

I may still be misunderstanding you so please forgive me. You are asking what they did to get banned, correct? If that is indeed the question (and once again forgive me if it isn't) they were banned because they came to your site from a site that you have listed under referrer blocker in Sentinel.

In other words, any time someone clinks a link for your site on one that you have listed in referrer blocker they will get blocked and if you have it set to notify you via email you will of course be notified.

Look in the Sentinel Referrer Blocker list and see if the site you mentioned in your initial post is listed.

If I am misunderstanding your question, would you mind expanding on it just a bit more. Smile

It does not list a site that they came from that I can see... and I am using the stock referer list that came from the install...

I did misunderstand. Apologies. I just realized that the referring address is your domain. Laughing

The string match that triggered the ban appears to be the xxx which is also listed as the client ip address. Probably the reason for the ban, no logical IP - IP spoofing or masking involved possibly, but since I am uncertain I will quit loading the post with possibilities. Sorry I couldn't help you better. Smile

I assume that the poster blocked out the actual IP address

Certain firewalls are designed to surpress referral URLs, thus instead of "http://www.mysite.com" they replace with "xxxx://xxxxxxxxxxx"
My guess is that they are an innocent user - in which case you can remove that specific referral block

They could have linked to my site from somewhere and were blocked due to the firewall suppressing the URL to something that is on the referral list? Thank you. And thank you CurtisH for your interest.

Yes, your understanding is correct. I know of no abuses through the referral string "xxxx:"

I was wondering why it is in the list of blocked referrers?

It is a commonly used prefix of spam sites I believe.

"xxx" is usually porn, "xxxx:" though?
