danno Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas about blocking users by their regional IP. I have used IP Deny in cpanel but it it can not work on the scale required to block out say 'Eastern Europe' or 'Indonesia'. I mainly work with locals (in country trade) but happily deal with the occasional US visitor, however, strange users from European IP's often try and rort the system. I know i dont have any legitmate traders in these regions, so i would love to find out if anyone knows of a method to block regions 'en masse' , can anyone help? thanks Danno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danno Posted December 8, 2004 Author Share Posted December 8, 2004 Thomas, Many thanks, i am proceeding along these lines, it is very cumbersome as (naturally enough) each country has so many IP's. I imagine including them all would impede performance so i am being selective. If anyone has any ideas or tips on avoiding a performance hit, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.

jandafields Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 If you are blocking out more than half of that list, then instead you could allow only from certain countries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
