Hello Daryl With a Windows install of Synchronet you may want to try Peerblock small little foot print program that has a option to make a list bad ip's in any and all countries. I did a search and found one place that you can make a list from of bot type peeps and it has worked very well. The very best thing is something like what I use pfSense the uses geo country blocking. I bought 3 small check point firewalls off of ebay wipped the drive and thew pfSense on one, bang done I can block any and all countries and if one say message net from over seas I just white lict his IP address. A day to a week or two you got it done pat. Best part it only uses 40 watts. -*|04Hav|12o|04k|07*- --- þ Synchronet þ Anarchy BBS - The Villages,FL * Origin: Vertrauen - [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net (1:103/705) .
