Are there wildcards for ip_blacklist?

[mvtimes]

Is there a way to block all ip's in DirectAdmin's ip_blacklist and just allow the ones I want in ip_whitelist?

Thank you

Just use a firewall.

Aye, I'm trying to figure out iptables right now. I just figured if there were wildcards, it would be a quick fix until I can be reasonable sure I have my iptables script where I want it.

I'm not sure about that, but what makes you hesitate to try it?

I did, with *.*.*.* in the ip_blacklists file but I was still able to access DirectAdmin. I didn't want to mess with it too much without have an idea of what I was trying to enter, so I thought I'd ask here.

Hello,

At this time, it's just the exact IPs.
Wildcards/netmasks don't work.
There have been requests for a wildcard method, which we will look into.
This also applies to the BFM's skip list option.

As for the original question, the current best way to block everyone but yourself is with this:
