How to block an IP address Thread poster: Laura Iovanna

|---|
Hello everybody!
Do you know what to do in order to block an IP address from visiting your Proz.com profile? I am sure I have seen somewhere this possibility but I can no longer find this option.
Thank you for your help and have a nice weekend!

| Why would you want to block anybody from seeing your profile,hm,Laura? | Aug 5, 2006 |
Why do you want to block anybody from seeing your profile?Then,it is like that ,that if somebody has a dynamic IP adress,you cannot block him or her at all from seeing anything in any kind of homepage.It is only questioon of a dynamic IP adress.

Well, this person is creating me problems, she visits my profile at least 20 times a day, she is using my mobile numbers (both Belgian and Italian) all the times (ringing and hanging up), I am receiving anonymous emails. After weeks of research I got her name... maybe she will not stop ringing me but I want to stop her visiting my website, that's all.
When I am fed up with it, I will go to the Belgian police to report all her details...
By the way, how do I recognize a dynamic IP address? Obviously I have her IP number, I know she is using it from her workplace, that's all I know.
Thanks for your help
Laura

| Change your mobile phone number | Aug 5, 2006 |
I knew there was a reason I tend not to include all my details on my profile page! Good idea anyway to include a mobile phone number somewhere - at least it can easily be changed!
I do not think that visiting your profile is the thing that is bothering you - it is probably the e-mails you are receiving and the phone calls. Incredibly annoying!
Personally, I would change my mobile phone numbers even if it meant I had to tell all my clients and friends to change the numb...

Personally, I would change my mobile phone numbers even if it meant I had to tell all my clients and friends to change the number. Not all clients are good at recording that as I noticed when I changed my e-mail address - but at least you will get some rest.
Good luck! ▲ Collapse

If it is a dynamic IP (It changes every time the machine restarts or the modem is reset, or some DHCP servers have a new IP address assigned based in time – every few hours or every few minutes). You can create a mask, and block certain classes or block of IP.
for example if the annoying IP address is 192.168.1.123, then the last 3 numbers change anywhere from 192.168.1.0 to arrange of 192.168.1.255 (The maximum in an 8 bit block address = 0 to 255), then you can simply type.
192.168.1.
Don’t forget the period at the end.
Or you can create a mask as such 192.168.1.1/16
But hen you will be blocking a WHOLE range of IP addresses.
Keep ion mind, this ONLY works if ProZ supports such TCP/IP features.
Good Luck

Thank you Arturo! This was a very useful information. According to what I have seen in these days it works... maybe it is not a dynamic address and I managed to block it!
But thank you for the information!

I agree with you that in case of dynamic IP that solution will be uselless
