Blocking specific IP addresses

[wifeandmomof4]

You can always add this to the top of your index.php file to block certain IP's from gaining access to your site.

$banned = array('129.168.1.1');
if(in_array($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], $banned))
{
    die();
} 

What if you have more than one that you want to ban?
How do I do that?

Because Array is a table you can add more IP-s like
array('1.2.3.4','1.2.3.5','1.2.3.6',.....,'XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX');

Have you tried just using:

deny from ???

All you need is that one line with the IP address.

Or, with one line you can block 256 IPs if you so choose.

deny from xxx.xxx.xxx

Leaving off the period and last 3 digits will block everything from 0 - 255

Note: the above is to be used in an .htaccess file on a Linux Server. I don't work with MS Servers so can't say what would happen.

How would I go about limiting registration to 1 per IP Address? Is that possible?

What happened is that I created a gift certificate to be sent upon account creation from Admin. I had one individual register 9 "people" from the same IP Address. She got 9 unique gift certificate codes. Then, she emailed/transferred them all to one account and applied them all to one order which then didn't cost her a thing.

The original Admin gift certificate was limited to one per order. I'd like to know how I could limit registration to maybe 1-2 from each IP address to avoid this happening in the future. Thanks for your help.
