Anyone know how to enter a "valid IP Address Range" - This should be simple...!

I am trying to block an IP range of some idiot in Singapore who keeps trying to interrogate my development server.

So, I have gone to Advanced -> Security -> Block Services to add a new rule.

Selected Service Type ALL, TCP/UDP, Port 1 to Port 65535, Service Type ALL

Clicked IP Address Range:

This is where the fun begins, for the range I have tried:
114.119.151. to 114.119.151. = invalid IP address (fair enough)
114.119.151.0 to 114.119.151.255 = invalid IP address
114.119.151.1 to 114.119.151.255 = invalid IP address
114.119.151.1 to 114.119.151.254 = invalid IP address
114.119.151.10 to 114.119.151.200 = invalid IP address

Any ideas anyone? - Or is it that I am trying to block Netgear Singapore LMAO...

Hi - I think I misunderstood what the Block Services was for. I thought it was to block external services coming in but I think its to block access from within to external services hence the router is expecting a local IP range. A more verbose error message would have helped.

I have performed the block with Apache so all cool. Thanks for getting back to me.

What is the Ip address and subnet mask that you are seeing attack your server?

You can only block local (private) IPs on that page, not public ones.
