Topic: Blocking specific IPs

[mrothe]

Hello,

I would like to block IPs on my local network from accessing.........JUST KIDDING

Actually what I would like to do is block specific outside (from the internet) IPs from accessing my servers.  eg. port scanners, script kiddies, google hackers, viruses.  I would prefer to have my server not even respond when one of the IPs in my list attempts to connect.

Any Suggestions?
