User talk:SQL/Non-blocked compute hosts

OVH Hosting[edit]

After looking over many of the ranges, and performing reverse resoution on them, I am pretty satisfied that they are unlikely to be DSL ranges - and are exclusively hosting ranges. SQL ^{Query me!} 23:50, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

New version[edit]

I've completely rewritten the code to be more modular, and to support global blocks now!

I can easily add hosts if needed, I would need:

Host name (e.g. "DigitalOcean"). This is used in section headers, so it's best to keep it brief.
AS Number (can usually be found on the whois tool)
Strings to search for. Case isn't important. No wildcards or regex are supported at this time.
Host name for the block message, if different for the host name above. Often one ISP will be branded as several, and it's helpful to list them all in the block message.

If you want to make my life really easy, this is the direct format used:

$hosts['shortnamegoeshere'] = array( 
	'name' => "", //Set the name to be displayed in headers
	'asns' => array( '', '', '' ), //List of ASNs
	'searchterms' => array( '', '', '' ), //List of items to search for in the whois
	'blockname' => '' ); //Name to display in the block message

Feedback is welcome as always. SQL ^{Query me!} 23:09, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Also, whitelisting is supported, sometimes a range will trigger because of unrelated text. SQL ^{Query me!} 23:10, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
