Blocking certain IP!

hey, i'd like to block that ip 94.102.60.35
i thought about "Block bad IPs via HTaccess? " in the comment spam config.
but i'm worried it could block the other clean comments that gets caught by mistake!?
if i enabled this feature will that block all the comments from that ip without notification[and that is what i need] or it'll block all comments coming from suspicious domains?
i know this is confusing, i'm confused myself when i wrote this.. hope you get my point :)

thanks

Hi!

Simply enter it into your .htaccess. Google for "denyFrom .htaccess".

The htaccess spamblock listing is only for IPs that the psamblock plugin gathers. It is expermiental and does not work good for large sites, and of course raises the chance that people get blocked who shouldn't.

That's exactly why i was afraid of when activating that option.

i got the code after googling it

Code: Select all

order allow,deny
deny from 94.102.60.35 
allow from all
i'll put it after # END s9y correct me if i'm wrong!

Thanks :)
