Slots block the IP address student where the student can log in, not the IP
ranges that they access AFTER they are logged in. Just precede the IP
address range with !. However, that does not do what you are seeking, which
is to block browser access to certain IP ranges AFTER they are logged in.

Subject: [LON-CAPA-users] Restricting Resources By IP Address

Hello Everyone,

We’ve been working with Lon-Capa’s ability to grant access to a resource by
IP address in order to allow an exam to only be accessed when a student is
in an exam room.  This can be done with slots and resources parameters. 
However, we would also like to deny access to resources (or courses)  by IP
address.  That way when a student is in the exam room they have access to
the exam but do not have access to the rest of the course.

Does anyone know if there is a way to blacklist IP addresses for Lon-Capa
resources or slots?

Lee
