Greetings boxer,

Are you trying to delete the ending range to do a mass ban? If so i think the correct way is example 8.0.0.0.0 Which should ban all in that field.

Use CIDR, but that won't help much with DDoS. They will still be hitting the firewall and making requests, so they really should be blocked at the router.

I think you have one too many octets there.

so i use now csf not APF, how could i block the range of these ip ?

Hi,

You can block IP address with the command :

csf -d 164.44.0.0/16

Thanks.
