Bad traffic block generator
As I have already posted, "bad traffic" comes from countries like the Islamic Republic of Iran, Iraq or Saudi Arabia and also China. If you don't know what "bad traffic" is, read this post: "What is Bad Traffic?"
As you can see bad traffic depends on his origin, in fact on the country from where the user comes from. It would make no sense to block the users IP-address, because most users are getting dynamic IPs from their Internet Service Providers. When you block a users IP-address, he will get a new IP-address, when he dial into the Internet next time.
What is the solution for this problem?
We have to block the whole country. In this case we won't get "bad traffic" from this country anymore. I have created a code generator and a script, which will allow you to block countries by putting three lines of code into your sites. Here is the link: http://youarebanned.info/webmasters.php
How does the script work?
This script compares the users IP-address with the IP-ranges of the blocked country. I have to mention, that this script does not use a database like MySQL or PostgreSQL. So you don't have to run a SQL-server, which will use much RAM and CPU. So how does it work? The IP-ranges are stored in a file: the GeoIP.dat from Maxminds. When Maxminds publishes a new updated version of their GeoIP-database, you can update the file by downloading it again. No SQL import or others steps needed.
What are the advantages of this script?
- You don't need any Database like MySQL or PostgreSQL, because the IP-ranges and country names are stored in one file.
- Updates are done by downloading the GeoIP.dat, so you don't need to update a database like MySQL or PostgreSQL.
- You don't need (almost) any programming skills. The script is so simples as it could be.
- You select where to insert the code: people from China are spamming you board with bots? put the code into the log-in-page and get rid of them. People from the Islamic Republic of Iran, Iraq or Saudi Arabia are using your web proxy to watch porn? Put the code into your proxified page. You can earn money, when they click on some advertisement on the front page and block them afterwards.
You will find detailed instructions and examples on how to install the code on normal sites, but also detailed examples for Glype, Zelune and PHProxy. Here is the link again: http://youarebanned.info/webmasters.php
