    Not sure how to enter the whole range. Should I enter it like you have it written?

    Below is a pic of what Im working with.
    I entered the range of IPs but not sure if the way its written is correct. So at this point I did not save that until I got your advise on how to enter that range of IP's in the box.

    You can try 57.240.*.* or 157.240.0.0/15, both mean the same thing but it looks like the system wants 57.240.*.*. That will ban 131070 IP address but from what I've learned all those IP's belong to FB. There should be no one using those IP's except FB. If the bot is
    coming from FB IP space that will stop it.
    Site seems to be running pretty good now for me.

    Sorry about the typo it must be 157.240.*.* to exclude all IP's beginning with 157.240
    Looks like FB owns all IP's that begin with 157.240.

    For me, the site is as fast as its ever been, just within the last hour. Good thing to know how to stop bots. Hackers crash sites all the time, didn't think OTP was that big of a deal.


    Well Shit, that didn't last long, spoke too soon.
