Blacklist brazile range Ip

[directadminhelp]

I want to blacklist brazilian (ip starts with 201) because we see a lot of trials to attack from there. If i set in the blacklist 201.*.*.* it is not working. What should I do?

thanks

Do you mean for DA and this option?

It doesn't do ranges. The best way to block a range is to use iptables, or the firewall of your choice. (google for more info on how)

Install firewall.
If you are running Linux, consider using APF (with BDF). It's easy to install and easy to use (not so easy to uninstall though:) )
For FreeBSD servers consider ipfw.

Hope that helps.
