1361 Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 I like putting BBS' on my websites. However, I am getting inundated with bogus registrations from the eastern European nations. What the heck is going on? I have never had this problem before. Is there a simple way to deny all "RIPE" ip addresses? I have a fairly current list from here http://www.ipdeny.com/ipblocks/ However, it would take me forever to convert it to a useable form in htaccess. Deny from *.*.*.* the repeat the next block. I would go nuts. Is there an easier way to just eliminate countries from having access? Whats a novice such as myself to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 First off your topic title got a good chuckle out of some of the staff here at our operations office. Kudos on that. Secondly you could look into something like http://www.countryipblocks.net which will generate a .htaccess for you blocking all of the allocations registered to a specific country. Disclaimer: I have never personally used this, though I know many of our clients have in the past with (I assume) success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1361 Posted June 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 That's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks, I'll give it a shot on one of my sites to see how it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
