Use asterisk (*) for wildcard entries, part 2

Ri
#0
Let's say I simply want to ban every IP from 210.0.0.0 to 210.255.255.255, under the assumption that anything in that range (among many others) will be from China. In Tools -> Ban Filters -> IP Address, is there a preferred format for using the * wildcard?

In other words, would I use 210.*.*.*

or

210.*

or

210* (no dot)

or something else? Thanks.

Sorry can't really be of any help here except to say that I am 99% sure this was covered in a previous post. Try a quick search for it

I did that already. One previous post concerned using the * wildcard to ban email names (such as *.cn) which is a different issue. None of the other threads searched addresses this particular question. Still hoping for an answer from someone...

no preferred way, it gets converted to a regular expression where the asterisk means "anything", so:
200.*
would be
200.[anything]

which has the same effect as
200.*.*.*

If your using 2.0.5 don't hold your breath - the wild cards don't work. In 2.0.4 anything of the afore mentioned schemes would work. Fix please.

I have the same problem and would LOVE for the * to work. It just doesn't. Any chance it will be fixed? Many days I have 3-9 bogus users setting up accounts. It is a pain to enter individual IPs when there is a range. Thanks much.
