Using Admin Tools
Tip
You can use the Save & New to quickly add multiple entries without having to go back to the administration
page and click on New all the time.
7.4. Site IP Blacklist
This page allows you to manage the IP Blacklist, defining the list of IPs or IP blocks which do not have access to your
site. The management is done using the standard Joomla! toolbar buttons. Clicking on an entry, or checking its box
and clicking on Edit will allow you to edit the entry. Clicking on the New button allows you to add an IP/IP range.
Checking one or several items in the list and clicking on Delete will remove them from the list.
The Edit/Add page looks like this:
Tip
You current IP address is displayed right above the edit box. Make sure that you do not include it so that you
do not lock yourself out of your site's administrator area!
In the IP Address Range box you can enter an IP or IP range in one of the following ways:
• A single IP, e.g. 192.168.1.1
• A human readable block of IPs, e.g. 192.168.1.1-192.168.1.10
• An implied IP range, e.g. 192.168.1. for all IPs between 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.255, or 192.168. for all IPs
between 192.168.0.1 through 192.168.255.255.
• A CIDR block [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classless_Inter-Domain_Routing], e.g. 192.168.1.1/8. If you don't
know what this is, forget about it as you don't need it.
• A Subnet Mask [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subnetwork] notation, e.g. 192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0
Do note that Admin Tools only supports IPv4 IPs. IPv6 is not supported, yet, as it has so far received minimal support
from commercial hosts.
