Can anyone help me with a solution to blocking traffic from China from using my site and stealing all my bandwidth? I only sell to UK sites but have found that in the last week Baiduspiders have taken over half of my monthly bandwith allowance. There seem to be hundreds of IP addresses so I'm just hoping there is some coding that can block Chinese users once and for all. Thanks

Sue,

 

You can block entire countries using the .htacess file.

 

 

This site will generate all of the IP's from china and put them into a format for your .htaccess so all you have to do is copy and paste them in.

Thanks for the advice - will doing either of these things compromise the performance of my shop? We have worked really hard to built up an excellent business and I'm a bit worried that customers may experience the shop slowing down.

Sue,

 

No, your customers won't know anything has changed.........unless ofcourse they are from China. China customers will receive an error when trying to load your site.
