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

Hi and welcome to your extended family

Please see this thread if that is what you want to do.

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.

If you are blocking out more than half of that list, then instead you could allow only from certain countries.
