 * Hi,
    Is it possible to block an IP subnet?
 * e.g. I want to block the subnet from login in:
    234.56.56.x (234.56.56.0-234.56.56.255)

 * Hi
 * On the advanced Blocking page, you can enter it just like you did above. Add 
   a reason why you are doing it and then hit the button that says “block visitors
   matching this pattern” and you are done. Here’s more about it:
