Deny Module

[Montroze]

As I have been adding IP's to a deny.txt file, uploading it and downloading it into my wgserv <DIR> (at least 10 a day with 10 or more connections) I see 3 or 4 get a message - while access denied to this * is all i can read in the audit trail.
It would be cool if something could be whipped up so that adding the ips to a deny file could be done something like Ricks Dup. IP program, would be quick and saving time updating the list on another puter and then the up/down on the main server. These buggers are getting on my nerves.
(my list is around 35-40 since the 25th ! )

you use major tcp/ip am i right? i can write em all day for GALICO but the only ip info passed to use from TCPLIB is in a text variable, i asked sylvain yers ago if there was a hook available and he said no.

is galtcpip.dll active at all on your system?

I'm guessing this must be a DOS based version and not the windows based worldgroup? If so there used to be a module that allowed you to edit simple text files online, that could be an option for you to edit while logged in via telnet.

If this is a windows version, you should be able to block single or ranges of IP's using windows built in policies... you won't even see rejection messages in the log then, it'll stop them from reaching any program. (depending which version you're running might change how its done I guess)

(windows firewall with advanced security to change incoming policies)

Another question was, you're blocking the IPs, but are you trying to remove the fact that you see the message "while access is denied from this" in your audit trail? Which is just letting you know someone that was blocked tried to connect but wasn't successful because they are blocked?

In which case you can configure AUDREJ to not record rejected incoming calls to the audit trail so you won't see those messages anymore. (once again depending on version this answer might change)

Yeah Im running the 'ol WG2.0 DOS version, and just trying to block access. Doesn't matter about the message they get or logged to the audit, but at some point I may use the option for the message.

Assuming you are behind a router...does it have the blocking functionality you need? Some routers do have firewall/routing capabilities.
