WHMCS allows you to ban IP addresses from accessing your entire WHMCS system.

You can access this feature at Configuration () > System Settings > Banned IPs or, prior to WHMCS 8.0, Setup > Banned IPs.

You can also configure the length of automatic IP address bans and ban email domains.

Banned IP Addresses

The list of banned IP addresses displays the reason for each ban and the date and time at which the ban expires.

You can delete IP addresses that have been banned in error from the ban list using the red delete icon to the right of the line.

Banning an IP Address

To ban an IP address:

  1. Choose the Add tab.
  2. Enter the IP address you want to ban. The last two blocks accept wildcards to enable you to block IP address ranges (for example, 189.123.789.* or 189.123.*.*).
  3. Enter the reason for the ban.
  4. Enter the date and time at which the ban will expire.
  5. Click Add Banned IP.

The ban will begin immediately.

Filter and Search

To search for a banned IP address, choose the Filter tab. You can filter the list of banned IP addresses by IP address or ban reason.
