IP blocking prevents the connection between a server/website and certain IP addresses or ranges of addresses. IP blocking effectively bans undesired connections from those computers to a website, mail server, or other Internet server.
Unix-like operating systems commonly implement IP blocking using tcp wrappers, configured by host access control files[1] /etc/hosts.deny and /etc/hosts.allow.
IP banning is commonly used to protect against brute force attacks.
On an Internet forum or Web site an IP ban is often used to prevent a disruptive member from access, though a warning and/or account ban may be used first. Dynamic allocation of IP addresses can complicate incoming IP blocking, rendering it difficult to block a specific user without blocking a larger number of IP addresses, thereby risking collateral damage caused by ISPs sharing IP addresses of multiple internet users.
????maybe i have read your ip address rules wrong but if you ban a multi user with his/her ip well you just can't race with that computer again
