How to block a web site?

[ee222]

Hello,

I want to block some web sites. I cannot block it by IP address because it changes everyday. So I use the script in ".htaccess" file below to blcok them.

<Limit GET>
order deny,allow
deny from www.abc.com
deny from www.123.com
allow from all
</Limit>

But it does block the web site, they keep acccess my web page(site) every mins.

My website server is using Apache/1.3.33.
Operating System is FreeBSD 4.11-STABLE. Thanks.

Best Regards,

I generally let the guys in the data center handle stuff like this so you may consider submiting a support ticket unless you are hosting the server your self.

You should be able to setup a rule using the iptables firewall to do a reverse dns lookup on the IP address, then if the reverse dns shows the host name you want to block you should be able block it automatically. Sorry I don't know the actuall steps here just the theroy.

Also try contacting their data provider. They may be considered in violation of their terms of service. Unfortunatly you may just have to give up and ignore it. I typically block at least one IP address per day for trying to break into my server. The other day I caught one after 1600+ bad login attempts.

Hope this helps,
NV

Thank you for your help. I have already done the submiting to my hosting company. They just want me to check it out some info on the web site and block the web sites by myself. Thanks.
