How can I block IP addresses on Web Server 2008 R2?

Question

I'm running Windows Web Server 2008 R2 with IIS 7.5, I need to secure one site to be used internally only from 10.0.0.0/8. IIS is running normally now. My current sites are bound to the internal IP address and serving content to the Internet.

I can't find the IPv4 IP and Domain Restrictions module. This module is allegedly named IpRestrictionModule, but I don't see it in my modules list either. All Windows critical updates are installed.

All of the posts I find for IIS 7 (or 7.5?) mention this module, and I don't have it. How can I install/setup this module.

Solution

Perhaps reference this article IP and Domain Restrictions remembering you may need to install IP and Domain Restrictions as referenced in the Setup section of that page.

That was it. I opened Server Manager --> Roles --> Web Server (IIS) --> Add Role Services. The wizard (2 steps) allowed me to Select, under Security, IP and Domain Restrictions.

Thank you! succesfully blocked a bot via ip address who was attacking my server with this ip and domain restrictions.
