Profile Script for IP range

Hi , 

You can access the IP address of visitor using user.header('x-cluster-client-ip’) in a  profile script. Please see the below profile script code: 

1. var strIp= user.header('x-cluster-client-ip');
2.  
3. var res = /^(([0-9]|[1-9][0-9]|1[0-9]{2}|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5])\.){3}([0-9]|[1-9][0-9]|1[0-9]{2}|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5])$/.test(strIp);
4.  
5. if (res)
6. {
7. return "Valid IP";
8. }
9. else
10. {
11. return "Invalid IP";
12. }

The above code checks whether an IP address is a valid IP address or not on the basis of Regular Expression defined in the script and then returns the Valid or Invalid Ip . In your case , you can create a Regular Expression on the basis of your requirements and then check if the visitor ip address is a valid one or not. 

After All the Set up , You can create an Audience named as "Valid Audience" and add "Visitor Profile" as a rule and then choose the  above created profile script name as the refinement.

Please let us know in case of any more questions or queries.

Thanks & Regards

So in Target Standard, what would be the next step for blocking the IP address of: 192.236.17.44? 

I know I need to create an audience using this profile script but in the dropdown I am not sure what you would choose.  Equals, Contains, Parameter is preset... etc.

Says that that the syntax is invalid.  Will not publish to adobe delivery network.

Hi Parit,

Can you explain this code. Specially /^(192.236.17.44)$/.test(strIp); part so that I can modify it to enter multiple IP addresses. I am finding it difficult to comprehend this code.

Thanks,

I've used this in the past for multiple IP addresses:

IP Address Exclusion/Inclusion Script Generator

You can put in ranges or single IPs. Be careful though, if you enter too many, the script breaks with no warning as Target has limits on the length of profile scripts but for some reason it doesn't tell you the limit on save (unless this has changed recently).

I just had to go through this exercise...see below:

/^(192.236.17.44|192.168.1.1|192.168.5.2)$/.test(strIp);

Separate it by a pipe as an OR statement.

I don't get it working in Adobe target standard.

Is it normal that in the available tokens I don't see user.header?

My audience based on this script doesn't work...

Here is how mine is set up (bluring out IP's)

I create my audience by saying Visitor Profile; user.isInIpRange contains "webRange" where isInIpRange is the Profile Script and webRange is the value that would be returned in the script.
