i am using Unreal3.2.7 and i can't ban anyone from the server using gline

/gline *@*virtuatv-ADBCB397.fbx.proxad.net +10000 ban

i have the following response from the server

[22:07] -irc.virtuatv.net- tkl update for *@*virtuatv-ADBCB397.fbx.proxad.net/reason='ban'/by=donald![email protected]/set=1227041448/expire=0 [causedby: irc.virtuatv.net]

The problem is:

pctoast@virtuatv-ADBCB397.fbx.proxad.net

When your users connect they are receiving usermode +x, which masks their host. As an IRCop you should be able to whois and see their real host:

[16:20:08] * [TheLight] (~[email protected]): Rwar
[16:20:08] * [TheLight] is using modes +irxzG +ks
[16:20:08] * [TheLight] is connecting from *@192.168.1.4 192.168.1.4

You should be using the "Connecting from" address, rather than the one shown in the first line.

thank you this will help me.

but is there anyway to gline form example *@*.IP or *@*badhost.com ??

Wildcard bans will still work as normal. The key is that if the user has *.IP, you need to whois and get the IP to ban (192.168.1.x, using TheLight as the example above). If the user has a hostname, so long as the virtuatv-ADBCB397 section is masked with a * (IE, virtuatv-ADBCB397 nor any part of it appears in the ban) it should also work.

Keep in mind that network bans only care about the real host. If the host is masked after the user connects, the ban won't have any effect.

thanks a lot, it works

one more question : is there anyway to ban from the server *.IP, which are all the ip whick don't resolve to a named host
