Is it possible to ban an IP from admin?

I only see username banning, but not ip ban.

Hi,
no, you can only ban by user name. Typically banning by IP address is not very efficient as users are likely behind a dynamic IP and the banishment can be easily circumvented.

Also, sometimes there can be multiple users behind the same IP (such as a school, office or public network access), so you may end up banning more users than expected.

With this said, if you still want to fully deny access to a certain IP address, you can it into the IP Filter's black-list, under AdminTool > Server Configurator. This way any connection coming from that address will be dropped.

Hope it helps
