The IP addresses section contains a list of IP ranges that you can use for composing UserGate rules. By default, the initial list of addresses is already predefined, but network administrators can add custom items as required. To add a new list of addresses, perform the following steps:
|
Name |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Step 1. Create list |
Click Add and then specify the name for the list of IP addresses |
|
Step 2. Specify the URL for updating your list (optional) |
Provide the server's address where your updatable list is hosted. Additional details about updatable lists are provided below in this chapter |
|
Step 3. Add IP addresses |
Click Add and enter the addresses. Address must be specified either as IP address or as IP address/subnet mask, e.g. 192.168.1.5 192.168.1.0/24 |
Network administrators can create custom lists of IP addresses and distribute them from a single center to all UserGate servers. To create a new list of IP addresses, perform the following steps:
|
Name |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Step 1. Create a new file with necessary IP addresses |
Create a new file called list.txt containing a list of addresses |
|
Step 2. Put this file into a new archive |
Zip the file into a new archive called list.zip |
|
Step 3. Create a new file with the necessary version of your list |
Create a new file called version.txt and specify the list version (e.g. "3") in it. Make sure to increment this value each time you update the list |
|
Step 4. Publish files on your web server |
Publish list.zip and version.txt on your website and make them available for download |
|
Step 5. Create a new list of IP addresses and provide an URL for installing updates |
Create a new list of IP addresses on every UserGate server. When creating a new database, make sure to provide an URL for installing updates. UserGate will be checking for a new version on your website every 4 hours and automatically update your list once a newer version is released |
