The Filter list
If you want to improve the protection of your site, the Security System built-in Filter list is just what you need. With the Filter list you can filter all User-agents you don't want to visit your site. Just enter the new User-agent to the list. On installation a number of "Bad User-agents" have already been entered.
If you encounter a problem with members visiting your site, using a filtered User-agent, you can deactivate that filter entry.
But the Filter list as more! You can block User-IP's. You can even block a whole range of IP's. But be careful with that...
Examples for IP-Filters:
1. only the first octet: 123 or 123.
2. The first and second octet: 123.456 or 123.456.
3. The first, second and third octet: 123.456.789 oder 123.456.789. (rarely used)
4. The full IP address: 123.456.789.0 (Useless with dynamic IP-addresses)
Use the Proxy-Blacklist for Proxy IP's.
