Blocking Certain IP Adresses from accessing the site


Guest

Recommended Posts

Posted

Last night I had a buyer come in to my site using what appears to be stolen credit cards and they used them to order. I use World Pay with their world alert system and this automatically through up flags in my emails with one of 4 attempts denied, the others high risk. Now I have gone into world pay and blocked their IP address there, but is there a way that I can block it on the osC site itself so they can not view it or access.

 

thanks,

Joe

Check out the Blacklist contribution, it will allow you to block there account form logging in and placing orders. There may also be a way to block IP addresses but I'm not sure what it is,

Installed Contributions: CCGV, Close Popup, Dynamic Meta Tags, Easy Populate, Froogle Data Feeder, Google Position, Infobox Header Entire Row, Live Support for OSC, PayPal Seal with CC images, Report_m Sales, Shop by Price Revised, SQL Updater, Who's Online Enhancement, Footer, GNA EP Assistant and still going.

The Blacklist only blocks their name. All they have to do is make a change to their name and they can then again place a order. Only way to block them is block IP's, But of course this is only good if they have a static IP.

if you are on apache you can add to your root .htaccess file.

 

deny from ipaddress

deny from 127.0.0.1

 

etc etc

 

Search google for block ip .htaccess

blocking ip's is futile, no self-respecting crook would use a static ip address.

the IP that was used I have traced back to Indonesia, using dnsstuff.com, which we all know is a hot spot for fraud.
