The next version of Gnucleus should enable blocking of ranges of IP addresses in the Connect > Filter window of the prefrences.
i.e. currently, you can block "1.2.3.4", or "1.2.*.*" etc...
but filtering of ranges such as "1.2.3.0 - 1.2.50.255" would be great... kind of like what we already have in the Search > Block window, just add it to the Connect > Filter.
I feel there is more of a need for this feature now than there ever was, and welcome any comments.
Thanx for your time
