Oh and these are my iptable rules, although I don't think it's getting 
that far:

-A INPUT -s 67.15.0.0/255.255.128.0 -j DROP
-A INPUT -s 67.15.128.0/255.255.192.0 -j DROP
-A INPUT -s 67.15.192.0/255.255.224.0 -j DROP
-A INPUT -s 67.15.224.0/255.255.240.0 -j DROP
-A INPUT -s 61.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 -j DROP
