How can I block IP addresses from my site?

Hi,

I have noticed a trend of certain ip addresses in other countries frequenting my site. I do not sell to those countries and yet they visit every day and seem to show that they have almost 200 pages on my site open. Showing 200 visitors on my site. When I use the admin tool to see what they are looking at I see a reference to admin and password in the link. I want to be able to block this ip just in case they are up to no good.

I have zen cart v1.5.1 is there a plugin for this? Or is there any way to block them from getting on my site?

Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

-Victoria

Re: How can I block IP addresses from my site?

This isn't a Zen Cart issue. There is no plugin to do that, because it's something that is best done at the server level.

Log a support ticket with your hosting company and ask them to help you block those IP addresses from accessing your store.
They usually have an option in your hosting control panel to control access to folders.
