TCH-Sales Posted July 21, 2003 Posted July 21, 2003 Question: I want to block a few countries from getting to my site, those with high credit card fraud. Should I do this using .htaccess or would that be hard on the server? Is there another alternative? Answer: Here is how with .htaccess <Limit GET> order allow,deny allow from all deny from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx deny from xxx. </LIMIT> Simply replace the xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx with the Ip you want blocked. Then re-upload into your public_html folder and thats it. You can also use wildcards like so 111.111.111.* Here is a downloadable list of IP to Country mappings.
