I apologize if this has been answered before. I have had a running Apache server now for several months. I am constantly getting bombarded with attempts by IPs from China trying to gain access to my network. I do not need users from China to have access to my server. I would like to use something like the list that follows to stop it. Unfortunately, I am not sure exactly where in my httpd.conf file I should put this so it works correctly. I have a very basic conf file and am not using virtual users although I do have SSL working. This list originates from: <http://www.countryipblocks.net/> <Limit GET HEAD POST> order allow,deny # Country: CHINA # ISO Code: CN # Total Networks: 1,927 # Total Subnets: 308,311,808 deny from 1.12.0.0/14 deny from 1.24.0.0/13 deny from 1.45.0.0/16 deny from 1.48.0.0/15 #more entries # allow from all </Limit> Thanks! -- Carmel â carmel_ny@xxxxxxxxxxx Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
