As there is no single IP associated, how can I permanently block ipvanish.com in it's entirety? Any ideas? I'm considering changing my ftp port but that's not a real fix, and I'm already playing that game with SSH.
Thank you.
EDIT:
I've added "ALL: .ipvanish.com" to /etc/hosts.deny. Not sure that accomplishes what I want.
EDIT2:
Regardless of what permutation of that site I used (leading "." or not), /var/log/secure began complaining about the entry, but more about the DNS identification of the machine that edited the file via SSH (but listing the line number 14 of the new entry in hosts.deny!) This is crazy.
Code: Select all

Entry in Edge Router HOSTS file for this offending laptop:

1. block 'ipvanish'
2. find out what I did wrong here
Thanks, again.
