So I just checked ARIN. 2602:300::/24 is AT&T 6RD, which I believe hands out addresses in /48 blocks. It's possible the person doesn't know how to use his entire /48, but, if he does, you actually need to block 2602:306:BDDE::/48
.
Okay, so how can I block him for good on my wikia? I don't quite understand how these different addresses work.
IP address or username
, put in 2602:306:BDDE:1350::/60
.
Expiration
, put in whatever duration you want. I suggest something not infinite, because residential AT&T customers get dynamic addresses. Maybe try a month. If he comes back, you can always make it longer.
You can also go back and unblock the /128 addresses that you blocked before. They'll still be blocked by the one you will have just implemented.
In general, when you click on the block
link by an IP address, you can always edit the IP address to be a range using range syntax. For most IPv6 addresses, you'd keep the first 4 quads (2602:306:BDDE:1350
hypothetically in this case), then add the IPv6 zero-padding (::
), and the length of the bit mask (/64
for 4 quads).
However, for AT&T, which hands out /60s (I was wrong before. I checked. AT&T hands out /60s, not /48s), you keep the first 3 quads and the first 3 digits of the 4th quad (remember to count leading zeroes), instead of the first 4 quads, then pad with a zero, then use a bit mask length of /60
, hence 2602:306:BDDE:1350::/60
.
So 2602:306:BDDE:1350::/60
means 2602:306:BDDE:1350:0000:0000:0000:0000
through 2602:306:BDDE:135F:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF
.

Thank you, I did what you said, so I just need to see if it worked.
Actually you still only blocked one address, not a range. See w:c:animated-spinning:Special:Log/block. Noreplyz blocked a /64.

Hey, I did what you told me to do, but I'm not sure if I did it right. It says No matching items in log.

I didn't do it properly and the troll is back. Can you please guide me on how to do it properly?

I'd suggest 6 months when range-blocking IPs.
... except this IPv6 range is still only one customer. This range is assigned to his residence. So the range isn't multiple customers.
6 months is fine, but the guideline to follow would be whatever duration you want to assign to an individual, because that's what this is.
