SetEnvIf Referer over an IP Range?

[keyplyr]

If I wished to ban:

195.xx.168.164
195.xx.168.165
195.xx.168.166
195.xx.168.167
195.xx.168.168

Could I do it like this?

SetEnvIf Referer ^195\.xx\.168\.16[4-8]$ ban
<Files *> 
order deny,allow 
deny from env=ban 
</Files>

Thanks

Your code looks fine to me.

But I've got a question: do you want to ban those IPs from visiting your site, or do you want to ban visitors who come from sites that have those IPs?

[keyplyr]

I want to ban those IPs from visiting my site. These were the IPs using the HTTrack download utility I was complaining about here [webmasterworld.com]. All these IPs belong to a UK company. This could just be some employee pulling my site down to their desktop for offline browsing during work hours, or it could be thievery; regardless, he's banned. I did fix the HTTrack RewriteCond, thanks Closed.

That's what I thought. You should check for the Remote_Addr instead of Referer.

I usually consult this when I see a directive I'm not familiar with:

[httpd.apache.org ]

Good job correcting the RewriteCond, keyplyr. You're welcome.

Thanks for the link - that's a great page. Maybe I will eventually understand enough to utilize it - LOL

You're welcome, keyplyr. It came in handy this time because I don't usually use SetEnvIf, and it describes the attributes that the directive accepts.

They call it the "Directive Quick-Reference," and I certainly agree with the quick part. I don't need to know what module a directive is in!

Great resource! Thanks for posting it Closed! i really appreciate the examples that they have included for each directive, showing alternate methods for each one, such as different methods of including a custom 403 page or message.

You're welcome, Wizcrafts. I can't thank them enough. Their documentation is pretty comprehensive and user-friendly.
