Add the following to the .htaccess file:

< Limit GET >
order allow,deny
deny from .jp
allow from all
< /Limit >

ErrorDocument 403 http://japanese-popup-hell.com

--------------------------------------
Remove unnecessary spaces, otherwise part of the code wouldnt show up

thanks man...but does it mean that only the ppl the come from domain.jp will be redirected? what about a japanese surfer that comes from domain.com?

Yes probably the surfer too....

But why you don't block each IP Instead of a large IPS?

here's what i've got. it's a freebie, 'cause salsbury's a nice guy. (and 'cause i don't know if it'll work perfectly as-is. ;))

just a word of advice: using deny or allow with any type of hostname will force hostnamelookups on, which will slow down your surfer's experience. ie it's not so good.

create a file called "punklist.txt" in your site's root directory. add IP blocks and URLs to the file as so:

192.168.0 http://www.someblindlinksponsor.com/
127.0.0 http://www.whitehouse.gov/

etc. basically it expects to have the first 3 octets there. next, add the following to your httpd.conf file in your VirtualHost directive:

RewriteMap punk-o txt:/path/to/server/root/punklist.txt
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^([0-9]*\.[0-9]*\.[0-9]*)\.[0-9]*
RewriteCond ${punk-o:%1|OK-TO-PASS} !=OK-TO-PASS
RewriteRule ^/.* ${punk-o:%1} [R,L]

unfortunately it won't work in the .htaccess file for whatever reason, silly apache.

if you'd like an explanation of all this, hit me for e-mail [email protected] . holy crap that took a lot longer to figure out than i expected. but it does indeed work.

Thanks man...but...the ip list that i have...is REALLY long...it will take days to write it...hehe
but thanks anyways

[salsbury]

np. however it probably wouldn't be too hard to set up the list with a good text editor like vi. in any case good luck.

Mmm, challenging, that. I love it!

Let's see,

order deny,allow

# Deny from a specific IP number
deny from 123.45.67.89

# Deny from 123.45.6.0 - 123.45.6.255
deny from 123.45.6

# Deny from 123.45.6.34 - 123.45.6.46
deny from 123.45.6.32/28

...

The last one, using netmasks, is the brain cruncher!

See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_access.html#allow
