Using your favorite SE ..search for "geo ip redirect" or "geo ip block" or "geo ip ban" ..and there have been loads of threads here in the past on this ..some relatively recent.

Many thanks Leosghost - have done that, but wondered if any of the members here had any hands on experience of any way of doing this.

The only one you will find with the accuracy you want is at maxmind..and is not the free one.

Just a thought, but is there any way of doing this, but redirecting other countries to another page on the same website?

If you go to the site I mentioned above you will see various scripts ready made for perl, php, javascript etc.
I'm not linking to the page as it is a commercial site and TOS here restricts that.
Personally I use a custom made system because I require it to do more ( and more accurately ) than what is available ..even there.

Thanks, I was trying for free first, if possible. Which way are you doing yours please? PHP, HTaccess ?

Really trying to solve this. Just tried :
GeoIPEnable On
GeoIPDBFile /opt/geoip/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat
RewriteEngine On
#
RewriteCond %{ENV:GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE} ^(US|KR|CN|BR)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.google.com/ [R,L]
But, getting a 500 internal server error?
Anyone see anyhting wrong with that code please?

| Seem to be getting really stuck on this and could do with some help from some of you experts if you could please? Is there any way of allowing just a few countries access, (USA, Mexico and Canada), and redirecting all other countries to another website please? |

Thanks wilderness, have been all through that thread and can't seem to find anything to help in this particular scenario? Also, if it's relevant, I'm on a shared server.

either create "deny from"'s for each range or "SetEnvIf Remote_Addr" or "RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR}".
The Class A's I provided will exclude the majority of non- US and Canada IP's.
FWIW, I've used shared hosting since 1999.
