Blocking countries by IP address
 

What are the best ways to block access to a site from countries with undesirable traffic? I know there are commercial lists with listings of IP ranges by country; does anyone use them, and which is the best?

A good article from Web Hosting talk was written on this

webhostingtalk.com/archive/thread/327502-1.html

why block? why not redirect to a lightweight page that feeds toplists, or redirect to a sponsor that has sites in there language & billing manners?

Thank you very much for the help; that was excellent.

Thanks! :thumbsup
That is a great tip.

posting links to other boards = against the rules.

thats discrimination!

yep :)

I agree unless there is a compeling reason to totally block access it does make sense to utilize that traffic for what its worth (albeit not much) :2 cents:
