Block IPv6?

BartVB

I was trying to blacklist a block of IPv6 adresses (an IPv6 prefix actually) but that results in a 'rule is invalid' message when I try to enter something like:

2001:db8::/64

Any ideas?

Hm, that surprising, but I suppose blocking of IPv6 isn't as thoroughly tested... however according to this site, the range you supplied isn't valid

It's not an IPv6 address, it's a block of IPs in CIDR notation:

Blocking a single IPv6 address isn't very effective.
