I want to restrict acces for a specific user (or role) based in it's IP address.

This functionality is said to be new in DNN 7.1.0. I'm currently running 7.1.2, but I can't find where/how I could configure such a restriction. Where can I fint this?

(FYI: I want to limit access to my web service)

you can find the setup details in the help - http://www.dnnsoftware.com/help#Docum... filters .

IP blocking is intended for scenarios where a network has both a public IP (e.g. 82.24.96.98) and a private IP (e.g. 192.168.27.0/24) and you want to ensure that only users on the private IP address range can log in. In that case you would access the site from an internal address (192.168.27.0/24) and then set 82.24.96.98 as a deny - you can now remove the * -this configuration will mean admin/host users can only log in when on the 192.168.27.0/24 private network.

There is no current way to block an IP you are accessing on (such as 192.168.27.0/24) as that would stop you from logging in and changing the settings (this differs from the IP restrictions in say IIS which will allow you to block your current IP)

Note: it also supports only allowing certain public IPs e.g. if I accessed dnnsoftware.com via my IP (82.24.96.98) I could set an allow rule for that IP address and then delete the * - now only I can login as admin/host if I am accessing via 82.24.96.98 i.e. no other public or private IP's/IP ranges can log in. However as Mariette correctly stated, a public IP address can be spoofed (via a http proxy/altered request/vpn etc.), so if a hacker can guess the right IP/IP range to use this is of limited protection (unlike the public/private divide as private IP's such as 10.0.0.1 are non internet routable)

Thank you both for the location of the setting and the documentation.

I've read that the IP filter only applies to host and admin users, although the documentation speaks of ip adresses logging in. (And are you allowed to stay logged in when switching to a blocked ip address? Does this hide the login link? questons ,questions..) Anyway, a filter for all users together is of little use. I had hoped for (and expected) a role based filter.
