Allow registration only from specified CIDR/IP(s) + include exceptions
Mod was updated to the 1.2.1 version.
With using "Allow registration only from specified CIDR/IP(s)" plugin, you can allow registration on your forum only from specified CIDR(NetMask) region(s), like (192.168.1.0/24) or from specified IP addresses (like 192.168.1.1 and e.t.c.). Also you can allow all subnetworks and make an exception for others (ban them) by entering them into exceptions list (check example in the screenshot). This modification was created using http://snipplr.com/view/15557/cidr-class-for-ipv4/'s PHP functions. If you want to allow some subnetwork, but you don't know how to write it in CIDR formatting, then you can use for that simple http://www.subnet-calculator.com/cidr.php. If you don't know what means CIDR/VLSM, you can read this article on Wiki - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classless_Inter-Domain_Routing.

Options screenshot : As we can see from this screenshot, I am allowed all subnetworks (0.0.0.0/1,128.0.0.0/1) and denied only 192.168.1.0/24 subnetwork.
