Blocking fraudulent IP ranges

I have some unwanted traffic hitting my server. (Windows 2000)
I have started making IP Sec rules, but  I still see the most frequent hacker trolling my site for hours at a time, changing ISPs and IP addresses.
He is doing all of this from an Opera smart phone....

I just wanted to see if I'm missing something really...I have taken a few IPs and blocked the whole DNS, the specific IP etc and yet I still see him able to access my site from those IPs.

This is the most frequent IP:   41.206.15.18

if it were you, how would you go about blocking him?

I am having trouble figuring out the subnet for this IP.. and server 2000 only lets you block either a dns, subnet or IP.... so unfortunately I cant enter his whole IP range...

I would really appreciate some help...I realize my problem is most likely a lack of knowledge.....or some dumb error.

None the less  I need some input.... I am not against blocking the whole country in this instance as 99% of my fraud comes from there..

Thanks!

Re: Blocking fraudulent IP ranges

Are you asking for support on linux or windows?  If it's the latter I'm going to guess someone will close this thread...  if it's linux, use iptables or a nice frontend like pgl-cli in the AUR.

Re: Blocking fraudulent IP ranges

This is not the appropriate venue for Windows support.
You probably should consider your use of Windows 2000 in a web facing role.  It was probably the best OS Microsoft ever created, but its days have past and is no longer bolstered against vulnerabilities.
