Can we reverse the block list?

The title really says it all...

If we have a network (ex:192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0) and we have just about 10 disperse IPs we want to work, can we reverse the rule?

(ex: !192.168.0.5)

And can we use 192.168.0.0/16 range type?

PS: the help file is so simplistic... is there any link more complete?

I dont think you can do that from within the bzflag-server. But I would configure my firewall to do as described (if i had any server, that is

)

Thats a petty...
It's in windows

The problem is:

In Portugal the ISPs give very low international traffic, but a good nacional one (my ISP doesn't account for traffic within it's network).
We have to use a freeware tool to control it (it was specialy created for this purpose) but it's not configurable. It only opens/close and account for traffic.

If i close it i can't annouce the server on BZFlag.org list.

So... no use in creating a public server if no one knows about it.

PS: thx, dmp

what you want is an exceptions list, 1.10.x does not have it unless you apply a patch. 2.0 will have it.

sgk284 has a whitelist patch that allows you to do this. 1.12 will have native support for whitelisting as well.

whitelisting for extreemly inforced leagues would be neat. it would allow only registered players to join. but mabye that would require something else then IP whitelists.
