Allow IP Address Range In hosts.allow
I would like to allow this Ip Range 94.1.1.1 to 94.15.255.255
I tried inputting this in the hosts.allow file after reading here that you need to use networks and netmasks? i don't know much about this so i don't know what i have done wrong.
94.1.1.1/255.255.255.255
but it did not work.
What should i be putting in the file to make it allow that ip range?
Thanks
Solution 1:
Using this subnetting calculator I get
94.1.1.1/12
as the value to put in your hosts.allow
Solution 2:
The Correct answer which I tested and is working is as follows.
94.1. # (just leave everything after the dot .)
In the case if you are manually editing the host.allow file.
Anything you put like / will be not allowed in host file as per my experiments.
If you want to allow your ip range the code should be look like this.
whostmgrd :94.1. :allow
whostmgrd : ALL : deny
This will prevent WHM login and allow only IP starting from 94.1.
Hope this will be helpful to you.
Solution 3:
I think you should be able to use 94.0.0.0/12
or 94.0.0.0/255.240.0.0
