How To Identify IP Address To Block In .htaccess?
 

I have a traffic trader that seems to be hitboting me like crazy. I am not sending him any return traffic but I need to block his incomming traffic.

How do I identify his IP address and what do I put in .htaccess to block him?

Any help will be appreciated.

look in your logs, see what proxies (if any) he's using. add the following to your .htaccess

order allow,deny
deny from 127.0.0.1
deny from 127.0.0.2
deny from 127.0.0.3
allow from all

obviously dont use those IP's, but replace them with the IP's attacking you, you can also enter domains

In my logs it looks like the hits are coming from legit sources, but I know something really fishy is going on. All of his traffic is clicking to my sponsors (non-skimmed) like crazy, but almost no clicks to galleries (skimmed). It is running my stats to sponsors sky high.

So I can just put the domain in to block without the IP address? Like:

order allow,deny
deny from mysexfile.com
allow from all

Is this the proper way to do it?
