Is this how I block an IP Adress? All I want is just to block or ban some IP Addresses to maybe a specific page or the whole website. I know that with REQUEST[`REMOTE_ADDR`] you can find out one's ip address. but what i am looking is for a code or any function which allows me to block certain IP that I chose.
It's part of the way there. The quick-hack way to do it is to 1) put a list of banned IPs in a 'lines' property of the object you're blocking on. 2) wrap your content in a conditional check against those IPs. In Python something like if REQUEST[`REMOTE_ADDR`] in blocked_ips: print "You are at a blocked address. Sorry." else: print content Similar for DTML (dtml-if) and Page Templates (tal:condition). You could do this for one page or stick it in a header for broader application. If this doesn't scale too well, one could write a product to do it, say a 'RestrictedFolder' that would only allow call or traverse if the IP isn't banned. If you want to block the whole site, you can use an outside proxy as previously mentioned. --jcc
