Does multi-ip banlist have bug?

[isaiah0518]

I download the latest plugin multiipx86.dll v1.02 and import it.
I have the problem of inputing ip on banlist.
example:
I want to input ip xxx.xx.xxx.xxx.
But I just can input xx.xx.xx.xx.
I can't input the ip that I want to ban.

May look n stop accept to block host name?
It seems like that LNS doesn't have the ability now.

Thanks for your reply.

Hi,

I confirm it is not possible to use host names when creating rules (even through plugins).

For the first part of your question, Phant0m will probably answer soon.
Or maybe you can try to post here:

Hi isaiah0518,

It's likely an DPI Scaling problem from the default size 96 to something else .. perhaps 120DPI.

I'll correct this and report back.

Multi-IP Banlist v1.03 been released - http://www.mntolympus.org/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=5578

Let me know if the problem still exists with v1.03, thanks in advanced. :)

Thank you, Frederic and phant0m!!

It still doesn't work. I would just input ip xx.xx.xx.xx.
I have a problem...
I remove old version plugin and registry, then import Multi-IP Banlist v1.03.
But it shows v1.02 in plugin setting information screen.
May I not delete all old version registry?

Do PluginMultiMAC and PluginMultiPort not release again?
The original download links in the forum were cancled.

Blocking host names is useful.
Wish LNS add the ability.
Multi-IP Banlist improves LNS.
Compare with other firewalls, it's a little poor that one rule merely configures two ips.

In some time, LNS lets me feel that the rule format restricts its expansion.
It's not enough, free and convenient.

Hi isaiah0518,

There are couple of places to change the version string, I happen to have missed this one but still is v1.03 and you still replaced correctly.


Your problem wasn't an DPI related one, I guess it might be Windows theme or resolution setting or front size? If you give me the Windows you running I can tell you where to-go exactly to retrieve for me some information that would help me identifying exactly what it is.


The other plugins will be updated and brought back, cannot give an exact date though.

[isaiah0518]

I don't know what information you need.

My system:
Windows XP SP3 x86

I use Visual Style (patch uxtheme.dll) to change my theme.

Uxtheme Patches:

Razor2 theme:

Thank you in advance!!

- Font size shown in 'Display Properties' on 'Appearance' screen/tab

- Resolution shown in 'Display Properties' on 'Settings' screen/tab

- DPI setting shown in 'Display Properties' on 'Settings' screen/tab and in 'Advanced' area


... Changing to one of the Windows pre-bundled Themes .. does it permit the entire IP address length in the IPAddress box?

I have checked...It's maybe an DPI Scaling problem.
I could input the entire IP address length with windows default or visual style theme after changing default size 96 to 120DPI.
I use Multi-IP Banlist v1.03. The problem of DPI still exists with v1.03.

Thank you, phant0m!!

I updated the the plugin - http://www.mntolympus.org/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=5578 .. and continues to use the same version string 1.03.

I redownload Multi-IP Banlist v1.03.
(It shows PluginMultiPort v1.01.)

I retry it and still don't input the entire IP address length.

[Phant0m]

My bad..! fixed.

[Phant0m]

Have an Window capture I can look at with it showing the problem?

[Phant0m]

I made yet another update, the version string remains the same.

Use visual style theme.
These are screenshots of 96 DPI and 120 DPI.
I can input the entire IP address length in 120 DPI, but I can't do it in 96 DPI.
Would you need the other information screenshots?

We know that we can edit hosts then block host names.
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Is it impossible to create any plugins like this?
I mean about making certain applications which connect to the filterable hosts direct to localhost 127.0.0.1.
Thanks~!!

Hi,

So far this doesn't appear to be systematic, I'll revisit this when there's another report or when I have some more time to investigate further.

Hi isaiah0518,

Few days ago I had released version 1.04 of my Multi-IP Banlist plugin (http://www.mntolympus.org/phpBB3/viewforum.php?f=38) for the Look 'n' Stop community;

Changes:

- Increased number of IP addresses that can be blocked (upto 45 now with an single rule).
- Visual Enhancements


.. This may correct the problem you had experienced, but if it doesn't let me know.


... Regarding your question about blocking host names, no it's not impossible to have an plugin use the hosts file to block named addresses... Do you suppose a plugin like this could be beneficial to the Look 'n' Stop community? I know that blocking dynamic host addresses would be pointless, but anything static it would be useful for.
