Banning ips

[thenewguy]

Is there a way to ban a IP from watching my site?

Hi thenewguy;

The answer is basically "yes", but it all depends on what web server you are using (eg IIS or Apache); and what access _you_ have to the computer itself.

For example, if you are running Apache, and either you have control of the server or have permissions to use a .htaccess file in the root of your website then you can block IP's by adding DENY FROM entries in .htaccess.

See the Apache .htaccess Tutorial [httpd.apache.org] for more information.

add the following section to your httpd.conf (if using apache)

<location />
order deny,allow
deny from 69.41.14.21
</location>

or goto the directory security tab in IIS and click on the IP address restrictions edit button.
