Si Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Recently I've had a host of fraud (mostly originating from Nigeria and attempting to use US credit cards). They're now inputting false telephone numbers seemingly just for the hell of it, so it's costing me every time. So I've decided to block anyone with a Nigeria IP completely from gaining access to my site. I use maxmind, which caught all of the above - and now I'm looking at their Geo_IP_Block service. http://www.maxmind.com/app/mod_geoip#block Just wondering if anyone has already installed this or if anyone has other suggestions. ? Cheers Si 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Entrance Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 http://www.blockacountry.com will give code to put in your .htaccess file to block any country you want but the problem is that users can use a proxy. however. maxmind can help better in such issue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
