How many IPs did you add at a time?

The full list or in say 100 ip blocks?

Dunno if you can toss to much data at it or.............

In the past I have blocked whole countries, being sick of it and made folks request access.

I copied and pasted the whole list at one time, it said the banlist has been updated successfully pretty quick, but it did take some time for all the IP's to show up...a couple of minutes.

OK, note to rest I had to change to FF to be able to paste his comma list as is.

In IE and Opera it just did the first line and thats it.

The big thing about the TOR list is that new IP's are added daily as people download and use the software, and the list can even shrink as people stop using it. I had to update the ban list last night because I had four new attacks yesterday, so I figured it was time to add the new IP's. If you repeat an IP on the ban list, the forum recognizes it and disregards. The bad news is, there is no way to tell the new IP's on the list from the old ones. So I did the whole process over. I just did it in blocks of 100 this time and then deleted them as I went along. They really like my forum for some reason and they will not go away, so I am sure I will have to update the IP's again. I do still have the the original list with the commas, I will get it zipped and attach it.

But it gets you well ahead of them, new ones are easily blocked or caught once your ahead of the game.

Forget about it shrinking.
[Those IPs will be block forever by me. Once used for a crime, its done I say.]

Anything new on this problem? I have a site in mind that I need to help out real bad. They are having major issues right now and are considering switching to a new system. They would like to visit the site and login like they used to.

Thanks guys!

Those attacks stopped for me. If they do like I explained above, it will stop/slow the attacks for them also. It is a PIA, but worth it.
