HOWTO: Graphical IP Blocker

[crog62]

It doesn't appear to be set in 2.6.25-2 which was installed with the upgrade to 8.10, Intrepid.

config-2.6.25-2-386:# CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_IPRANGE is not set

I'll research this some more - maybe pull off another version of the kernel if I can figure that out.

Thanks,
Craig

I'd use linux-image-2.6.27-9-generic .

I've just installed the latest version of IPBlock on Intrepid and hit something that I can't work out whether it's a problem or not.

I've used this program for previous versions of Ubuntu before, and the sign I usually take that it's working properly is that it won't let me look at government websites, the BBC website or Microsoft's official website. I've played with the settings, but I can get onto these websites while the current version of IPlist is running. Does this mean it's not working? And if not, how can I fix it?

Thanks in advance.

Recent versions ignore http and dns by default. If you use level1.gz you could try

ping $(zcat /var/cache/iplist/level1.gz | grep -o -E "([0-9.]+){4}" | head -n1)

Code:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ssakar/ubuntu intrepid main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/ssakar/ubuntu intrepid main

I'm new to ubuntu and was wondering how I go about putting this code into the folder /etc/apt/sources.list.d/iplist.list

I was able to create the iplist.list folder under root, but cannot figure out how to put the above code into this folder. If anyone could help a noob out I would appreciate it. Thank you.

iplist.list should be the file containing the 2 lines. Try the following commands to add the repo:

sudo rmdir /etc/apt/sources.list.d/iplist.list
sudo wget http://iplist.sf.net/sources.list.d/intrepid.list --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/iplist.list

[Toleedo02]

so basically I need to d/l the repo before creating the iplist.list directory? Thanks

Create a new file (as root) in /etc/apt/sources.list.d named iplist.list with the following content depending on the Ubuntu version:

I'm using Hardy 8.04 and i'm not sure how to execute the above directions, can i create a new file in nautilus, then add the files???

Thanks! I've only used it with the GUI, though. Where should I be putting this code? Is there a file I should be altering, or is this a terminal job?

This is terminal command. Open a terminal and copy & paste it. Abort the test with control + C. The ipblock log window should show the blocked pings.
