Using the “Ban IP” function you can forbid the access to your site from specific undesirable IP addresses. E.g. you can ban the IP form which a user posted spam on the site, etc.
If a user tries to access the site from the banned IP there will be the following message displayed for him:

To get to Banned IPs page you need to go to Admin Panel > Users > Banned IPs.
On the opened page you will see the list with IPs which are currently banned:

To unban a certain IP address you need to press the “Unban” button located opposite this particular IP. The IP will be immediately unbanned and a user will be able to access the site from that IP again.

 Note: Clicking on the underlined “IP” column title you can sort the IP list 
 in ascending or descending order.


To add a new IP to the banned IPs list you need to use the “Ban IP” form on the top of the page:

You just need to enter / paste the IP you want to be banned to the edit box in this form and then press the “Ban” button. The IP will be immediately banned and a user will not be able to access the site from this particular IP address.

 Note: You can ban only one IP at once using the “Ban IP” form.


You can use the ‘*’ (asterisk sing) to replace one or several digits of the IP, e.g. 192.168.*.*
