Hi,
Could you please tell me how I can stop this from happening?

I get this if I refresh a page straight after its been loaded.
I already have the following in my hiawatha.conf file

BanlistMask = allow 91.305.10.40, allow 251.146.179.215, deny 192.168.1.0/24, deny 127.0.0.1

Hiawatha version: v9.8
Operating System: FreeBSD 10

In your BanlistMask setting, change 'allow' to 'deny'.

Hi Hugo,

Thank you for the reply.

Do you mean to replace

BanlistMask = allow 91.305.10.40, allow 251.146.179.215, deny 192.168.1.0/24, deny 127.0.0.1

with

BanlistMask = deny 91.305.10.40, deny  251.146.179.215, deny 192.168.1.0/24, deny 127.0.0.1

My understanding is that deny 91.305.10.40 will block all request from this IP address.
91.305.10.40 is my external/ public facing ip address and I have 4 domain running from it

No, that would be the case for AccessList. See the manual page for both AccessList and BanlistMask.

I see, I got mixed up with the 2 settings.
Thank you for your help:)
