Comprehensive IP Control management

IP Manger lacks comprehensive search / edit functionality. 
We manage 900 IP Entries in our Whitelist/Blacklist. 
It would be much easier if there was a comprehensive search functionality by every field or at least adding search by 'Note' field. 
I literally spend my time scrolling up and down the IP addresses entries. 
Very frustrating.

Similar issue with the Automatic IP Blocking 'Immediatelly Ban These Users'. We have a list of 200 banned user names. Managing those in a comma separated text box is a nightmare.

Please consider improving search functionality and management of IP addresses and Ban Users when 1000s of entries are in use. 
DataGrid with paging, searching and filtering should do. 
The current functionality works only for 50 IP addresses and 5 Ban users (that's how many fit on visible screen), but not for enterprise level management.

  The From, To, and Note fields are now all included when doing filtering with the search box in version 10.0. 

   

  We've also turned the one-line edit control ban user list into a text box so it can fit several lines at once in plain view.  We'll add an enhancement request to allow it to be searched and sorted (that will probably require moving to a different visual representation).

  Hey Mate,

  I've recently found more success in manipulating the xml file that contains this info.

  Yes, the cerberus UI is a PITA for IP management but when you manipulate the config files directly, it takes the UI out of the equation.

  You can use powershell to scan and append info into files from a central location, would recommend looking into that tbh.

  Recently added around 1800 blocked extensions for disallowing Crypto, there was no way I was hand writing all of those into the UI. I went to the config file and did what I needed to do there.

  Also keep in mind that an easy to use IP manager would also be easy to use for someone who has managed to get into your space maliciously.

  Cheers.

  Hayden.
