Blocking an IP address

IP Address Blocking allows specific users to be blocked from posting comments, based on their origin IP address.

To block comments from a specific IP address:

1.

Click the Settings & Security tab.

2.

Click Firewall in the Options list.

3.

Enter the IP address to be blocked into the IP address text box.

4.

Type any comments about the IP address (for example, the name of the person who uses that IP address, or why they are being blocked) in the Notes textbox.

5.

Click the Add button at the bottom of the page.

Once an IP address has been blocked, the page will reload and the IP address will appear in the list of blocked IP Addresses on the right side of the page.
