Blocking ip's...

[geriatric]

Very cool.

I did not understand that the [^/]++. was used like that. I thought it was some crazy Udandan sign for stupid. :P Really though, I did not understand you had to start your address with that. Pretty simple.

How about the parentheses here ([^.]+.|) ? And the structure? That must change the way it is filtered, huh.

This may not be so hard afterall.

Oh, the list above, AD goes in front of all the below text. Those are the actual filenames by the way. Sorry, no kill url list. However, it is in the lists directory. Have no idea why it is not used. In a sudden flurry of new information, one of them, I believe Pauls lists, suggested something else. Or maybe not.

I have more lists that I am used to. I only switched to 4.5 recently. I have been using 3.? for a long time, and had it all set up. I switched to use the https thinga-ma-jigger. And in learning more about internet nasties, have been trying a lot of things new.

This has all stemmed because I am cheap. I use oupost firewall (free version), and I really love that program, far far above every other firewall I have used (and that is no small number). However, one limitation to the free version is that the blockpost plugin has some mental disorders with a listfile above 64kb. That is not many sites compared to the number available.

The only reason I even started messing with blockfiles again is that Alexa is such a pest. The blockfile plugin, with the Alexa ip's in it, does block it. And seeing how often such said nasties are blocked only encourages my opening of Pandora's box. Heh.

So, back to the task at hand.

Basic syntax, to completely kill a site from my knowledge, would be
[^/]++.alexaSUX.com/

The * at the end ensures "all" else under that directory is blocked as well?

So much to learn so little time.
