How do I restrict access based upon IP address?

  • From the Manage tab, select Restrict access by IP address
  • On the restrict-access page, add IP addresses that you wish to allow or deny until complete

    The following sections illustrate typical scenarios for restricting access based upon IP address. For more information on analyzing BadBlue server logs for this purpose, see the FAQ entitled How does server logging work?.


  • How do I deny access to specific machines?

    Use the following configuration:

  • Add a Deny restriction with the specific IP address to be refused access; repeat until all machines that need to be denied access are listed

    Note that a single machine can be specified (e.g., "137.182.141.229") or wildcards can be used, so that a network segment can be restricted (e.g., "137.182.141.*").


  • How do I deny access to all machines except specific ones?

    Use the following configuration:

  • Add a Deny restriction with a wildcard specification for all machines ("*").
  • Add a Allow restriction with the specific IP address to be granted access; repeat until all machines that need to be allowed access are listed

    Note that a single machine can be specified (e.g., "137.182.141.229") or wildcards can be used, so that a network segment can be restricted (e.g., "137.182.141.*").
