== IP Blacklist ==
[[BR]]
It can happen sometimes that you may want to '''restrict''' or '''allow''' access to your website for certain individuals, local groups or even for particular countries by IP range.

IP Blacklist will help you to do that easily. The form is presented by the following fields: 

'''From''' and '''To''' - define the IP range list
'''IP Role''' - defined with the ''allow'' or ''deny'' options for the list
'''Date of Finish''' - the due date of the action
'''Description''' - your notes about this action 

There are global settings for this tool in '''''Administration Panel -> Settings -> [http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/wiki/DolphinAdminAdvancedSettings Advanced Settings] -> Other''''' 

'''IP Blacklist System Mode''' with values

1 - ''total block''. If it is set, the IP range will be totally blocked from the site.
2 - ''login block''. If it is set, the IP range will be blocked from login and will allow only surfing on your site as guest.
The setting begins to work when the below option is enabled.

'''IP List Type''' with values

0 - ''disabled''. Globally disables this feature.
1 - ''all allowed except listed''. Will allow to visit your site for all except those IP ranges that you have listed in '''''Administration Panel -> Tools -> IP Blacklist''''' under the '''deny''' role.
2 - ''all blocked except listed''. Will restrict access to your site for all visitors except those IP ranges that you have listed in '''''Administration Panel -> Tools -> IP Blacklist''''' under the '''allow''' role.
