Question regarding to IP ban

[Alex]

I'm atm reading the docs for Unreal and I have a question regarding to IP bans.

In the example it says:

Code: Select all

*!*@128.*

Does that means you actually can ban an IP that way or is it just to show how it has to be set for the rest of the numbers in that IP like:

Code: Select all

*!*@123.45.67.890

and will that ban everyone who have an IP that start with 128

[Ron2K]

*!*@128.* should ban 128.0.0.0/8.

Oh, for the day where I can use CIDR everywhere...

It's a wildcard mask like with hostnames. Just it matches against the "standard notation" for the IP address (1.2.3.4 for ipv4, or the compressed version for ipv6).
