130816	2003-03-25 10:23:00	Im going to be setting up some services soon when I get cable (Like a permanent host for my chat software), and Im wanting to know if its possible, and what sort of things its possible for... Im talking about limiting traffic to National, seeing as its free. Is it possible?	Chilling_Silence (9)
130817	2003-03-25 12:31:00	I have been to your site, I see your a Believer as well :)	PoWa (203)
130818	2003-03-25 13:00:00	Yep, although I dont know what that has to do with Internet Traffic Limitation? ;-) I should probably pull it down or actually update it... A series began about 5 weeks ago, working thru Revelation :-) 'Spect it'll take around a year or so to actually get through the whole lot... And come to think of it, updating the site may not be a bad idea... just keeping the messages.... Hmmm.... At least it'll give me something to do during this (Forecasted) long night ahead. Beats programming for the time being ;-) *Realizes he's rambling on.. most likely due to lack of Coke in the last two days.. Only 2 Diet-Cokes and 1 L&P*	Chilling_Silence (9)
130819	2003-03-25 13:03:00	Well generally on cable national traffic is charged at a 10th of the international traffic not free. As for blocking out IPs. I'm assuming this is just for the apache webserver I'd look into finding out what netblocks are owned in NZ and allowing those and only those to connect to the server.	-=JM=- (16)
130820	2003-03-25 13:30:00	Really? Im sure when I last enquired it was free? Could it be ISP-Specific? Maybe Ihug are... I hope so, but I'll look into that :-) Im actually not looking to serve websites, rather host chat sessions using my Chat software Ive written. The host file is called MOS.EXE (Stands for MOO Object Server-side), and it hosts on Port 1200. Im obviously going to have to check with Ihug that the T&C allow this sort of thing, but how would I go about doing that (Block the IP's I mean)?	Chilling_Silence (9)
130821	2003-03-25 14:02:00	Well, Ihug do offer Nation Traffic Unlimited for free: JetStart Services with Ihug (www.ihug.co.nz) And it doesnt say anything in the Terms and Conditions that I cannot host using my Chat Software, but still, I will be on the phone to Ihug tomorrow to check it out just in case :-) Ihug's Terms and Conditions (www.ihug.co.nz) Now, Just to filter it to NZ on certain ports :-)	Chilling_Silence (9)
130822	2003-03-25 22:27:00	Howdy Chilling, I had thought I had read that iHug didn't allow you to run a server, the same as xtra....... Anyway, there is a linux program portsentry that allows blocking of IP addresses. There is an article here (www.linuxworld.com) but when I went to Psionics web site you end up going to Cisco Systems. Not to sure what is going on there. The article mentions that it is included in Redhat distros so that shouldn't pose a problem. It may well be available at rpmfind (http://rpmfind.net) which is a great place to look for lots of linux stuff especially as you can check the dependencies prior to downloading ;)	Gorela (901)
130823	2003-03-25 22:31:00	Cable????? surely not in AK... Do you by any chance mean DSL? If so its a very different kettle of fish. .Clueless	Clueless (181)
130824	2003-03-25 23:02:00	Thanks gorela, but what about for doze? I was hoping to stick with .NET server for the first little while maybe... Can you remember where in the T&C you saw that? I couldnt see anything about that last night? Ah, yes.. ADSL.. I remember the differences.. but anyways.. Its JetStart Im going to be using. Anyways.. My chat program worked mint yesterday with CyberChuck hosting it, and 3 of us in the room... He was downloading too.. using a manager sucking ALL the bandwidth ;-)	Chilling_Silence (9)
130825	2003-03-26 01:30:00	Hi Chilling Silence, Below I have pasted the code to a script that I use on my Direct Connect Hub to block out international IP's. It might be of some help to you '===================================== ' Direct Connect Hub IP Filter script '------------------------------------- ' version: 1.0 (010629) ' author: [FF]yopo ' email: yopo@hotmail.com '===================================== ' This script will check users when ' connecting to the hub, and if the ' IP number is not in the oAllow list ' it will disconnect the client. You ' can also configure it to allow full ' A-, B- or C-subnets (see the ' examples below). It will also send ' a message to the user. The script ' is useful if you want to keep the ' hub open only for connection from a ' specific ISP, network or region. '===================================== Dim sBotName Dim oAllow Dim sRejectMessage Sub Main() Set oAllow = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary") 'Set these basic parameters sBotName = "IPBotNZ" ' <- name of the bot 'The message to send to denied clients sRejectMessage = "Sorry, no connections are allowed to those outside of New Zealand." 'Add new entries for each ip number or subnet you want to allow. 'Here are some examples of the syntax; the "descriptions" can be 'anything, except for an empty string.
