need help in blocking access per country
 

can you guys help me please? i need to block a couple of countries from accessing my sites. How do i do it with .htaccess? also, where can i find all the possible ip's assigned to a country?

thanks in advance

bump for me :)

that is bad idea!

why? please explain ... do you want to waste BW on countries where 90%+ of the population doesnt have CC ?

Aye, get a database from Maxmind. The free one is decent, but the paid versions are obviously better.
I wouldn't just block them. Redirect them somewhere, (dialer, or AFF or something.) where you might at least have a chance at getting something out of them.

Simply add:

GeoIPEnable On
GeoIPDBFile /path/to/GeoIP.dat

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{ENV:GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE} ^XX$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.shitcountry.url [L]

XX would be replaced by the code for the country in question. If redirecting numerous countries to the same URL don't forget to add [OR] after each RewriteCond statement EXCEPT for the last one. If redirecting numerous countries, each to different locations, you'll need one RewriteCond statement AND RewriteRule for each.

Thanks for the post.

Hey. List the countries here & maybe we can work something out.

I've got some uses for foreign adult traffic (European specifically).
