    I would like to Ban all IP Addresses except for a handful I have for my clients. I tried this but it’s not working.
    0.0.0.0-69.198.191.136
    69.198.191.138-216.50.189.178
    216.50.189.180-999.999.999.999
    and

    0.0.0.0.*.69.198.191.136
    69.198.191.138.*.216.50.189.178
    216.50.189.180.*.999.999.999.999

    and this:
    0.0.0.0.*
    69.198.191.138.*
    216.50.189.180.*

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello, not sure why you would want to limit access as such, but here’s my take on it.

    I think you have too many dots. Also, the largest IP in the IP world is 255.255.255.255.

    You can have a max of four blocks, so it would be 0.0.*.* to block all IP’s in the range of 0.0.0.0 to 0.0.255.255.

    I don’t think the first block can be a * so to block all of the ranes you would have to have many many entries! Example:
    0.*.*.*
    1.*.*.*
    2.*.*.* etc

    On a side note, the lowest IP address available is 0.0.0.0 and the highest is 255.255.255.255
