How to add bulk ip ban in cpanel

[torrfriend]

Hi, guys
Got a tons of spam bots in my new forum , so how to ban(all in the below list) this in cpanel........??

Yes, i know banning a single ip and ranges, but bots ip's are different and not in range, so only way is ADDING ip one by one(atleast for me)...... it's frustrating to add one by one(nearly 1000 ip's ), so any BULK adding method using cpanel

thanks JGM,
but anything by cpanel..

Try adding one and then check your .htaccess file and see what changes were made you could then use Notepad++ or something similar to copy and paste the other IP's in and add the extra code you need for it to work. Then simply save and re-upload to your server.

This could slow down your server since it will check every user who comes to your site against the blacklisted IP's to see if any match so it could potentially cause some lag depending on how busy your site is.

I have come across this method several time lately and the response has been good. Everyone seems to be utilizing this feature to the greater benefit of all.
