Ban country

[rpain]

Hi,

I want to ban a country from viewing my client's site. All of her products were ripped off in Morocco so we'd like to ban that IP range. Someone a while ago (March 06) posted this:

-----------------------------------------
I can give you my ban system. It's ban by ip range, country, user-agent. PM me if you need it.

Any discrimination worse!!! I live in .ru, but I'am not a spammer!!!
Good luck,
Andrew

...but I've not had any reply from a pm. Anyone else have any ideas as she'd like to release new products v soon?

Thanks,

Richard

Is this idea worth giving up on then?

Have you checked in your webmaster panel if there's an IP deny manager? That would probably be the best way to do it.

Hi,

You could probably use the IP2Nation data http://www.ip2nation.com/ to determine the country of origin and then act accordingly. They provide a free MySQL database and sample PHP scripts. I've used it for targeted advertising and it's pretty simple to use.

Regards,
Christian.

Hi,

Afo - Lighttpd is running on my host's server and I can't change a lot.


Just seen that ip2nation link, though - that should do the trick..thanks CJPinder :-)
