Hey all,

 

 

I am newbi to osCommerce and want to know is there a way to ban specific ips.

 

I am using 3.2.1

 

Thanks in advance.

That;s usually done via your control panel. Ask your host if there is an option to do it from there. You can also edit the .htaccess file in your root directory if you feel comfortable doing so.

There are contributions available. Check for IP trap contribution.

Hi Anna, here's the simplest method, open up your htaccess file in your root directory and add (as an example):

 

#Russian malware scripter network range

deny from 178.0.0.0/8

 

or for a specific ip

 

deny from 204.11.219.90

 

you could also do it like these examples: (note the dot at the end)

 

deny from 204.11.219.

 

deny from 204.11.

 

deny from 204.

 

Regards
