Do you have root access?

Hi,

You have to define the IP network that you want to prevent visits from and then you have to ban IP's with firewall or with htaccess file.

Try this:
Log into your Cpanel account. Under "Site Management", go to Ip Deny Manager. THen under "Add an IP Deny:" enter in the IP address you wish to block. Click "Add". You should be all set at this point.

To remove the block, simply remove the line that was created in the .htaccess file located in your www directory

You can remove the entry through cPanel as well.

How can i block whole country instead of single IP
I have access to htaccess file but what to write in to block whole country?

**C180H** · 11-28-2004, 03:01 AM

on your local computer create a file called htaccess.txt, edit it with info below, then upload it into your www directory and rename it to .htaccess

inside copy and paste this

AuthName "Country access blocked"
AuthType Basic
<Limit GET POST>
order allow,deny
allow from all

deny from WHATEVERIP OR HOSTNAME HERE
deny from .ca
deny from .com
</Limit>

it seems it would take lot of work to deny access using IP blocking in htaccess file,what about geo IP redirect to different page from the users of the country i want to block.is there any free utility like this available?

Which of the following things i have to change according to my need ,i have marked those red can see if its correct.Will placing .ca block every one from canada?
or what?
Or else i have to place one particular IP in place of WHATEVERIP OR HOSTNAME HERE

AuthName "Country access blocked"
AuthType Basic
<Limit GET POST>
order allow,deny
allow from all

deny from WHATEVERIP OR HOSTNAME HERE
deny from .ca

</Limit>
