This was covered ina previous topic but I can't find the answer in a search or on the list. I understand how to add IP Addresses to the ban list, but if I don't want to include the entire adrees, do I need to include a terminal peiod at the end of each address of subnet?

For example:

entire address- 168.23.87.312
If I want to ban 168.23.87, do I nees aperiod at the end of it or not?

yes, you do in the case you describe.

168.23.87 (no period) could mean xxx.168.23.87 or 168.23.87.xxx. but 168.23.87. (period) means 168.23.87.xxx. The period on that end means explicitly match to that end. A period on the front would match to the other end.

Umm, not quite. <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

If you enter 123.45.67 then the IP address MUST start with 123.45.67

So 123.45.678.9 would match (assuming it was valid - it ain't and I'm lazy <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> )

123.45.6 will:
NOT match 78.123.45.6
but WILL match 123.45.65.43

Edit: I guess I should point out - the reason that IP address up there ain't valid is because each node in an IP address must fall between 0 and 255 (and I'm not quite sure when those end points are allowed either).
