Welcome. It's very difficult to identify the true IP address, but I believe NukeSentinel tries to get the real IP. Just not sure if it's always successful as I haven't tested.

Are you sure they are spoofed, or he's just using an anonymous proxy server?

All I can tell you is, untill recently this guy was a computer dumbass. So, someone has given him a program or told him how to do it. I know he is doing it from his home PC because of the hour of day he does it. But, the IP's all trace9whois) to these different locations. I ban one IP and he just pops in with another. All this from a 40 year old - lol. Can we say ADD? Anyway. I know there are a lot of setting in Sentinel that I have not set, because I don't know what they are or do. i was just wondering if there was something I should turn on to prevent this noob. Let me know.

Depends on how he's doing it. You can block Proxies in NS but I seriously doubt it will be effective.

Check your apache logs and NukeSentinel IP Tracking and see if you can spot something in the Referrer, User Agent, and/or Query String that you might be able to "block" him on. Be careful, though, and ensure it is something very unique to him...
