i noticed the sessions table was getting HUGE on my site. I checked the "whos online" page and sure enough it showed 40 or so people from china on my site at the same time. they should not be there. i added the htaccess code (actually I've tried a few). They still keep coming on my site though - what can i do to block all china traffic from coming to my site?

If your host has the MaxMind GeoIP package installed, you can block the whole country with it. If they don't and won't install it (it's free), then you can get a list of the countries IP's from a site like http://www.blockcountryip.com/. That does the same thing as the MaxMind package except it takes up a lot more space. In either case, IP's change so not all IP's from China may be blocked, though they should help. A third option is to install View Counter. It has an option to block by country. As long as the IP being used can be identified with China, it will catch them all.

It isn't as efficient as View Counter but it should work. I'm not aware of a length limit for that command though I've seen posts where the op said they caused problems so you may want to keep that in mind. The overall size is more of an issue, I think. I suggest you run a speed test on the site with and without that code to see if it makes any significant difference.

Try and see follow in your whos online at the bottom of admin

 

if the problem persists @@Jack_mcs use Jacks advice View Counter. which is specially built for such problems and gives you a lot more control

The assignment of IP's can change so sites like the one listed may not show all of the IP's a country might use. Also, if you block by range, you may block IP's you don't want to block since they are not assigned by country. The bottom line is that if you use the .htaccess method, you will get some, probably most, of the IP's assigned to a country but not all of them and you should plan on updating your list of IP's a few times a year.

 

But that holds true for MaxMind too. It's database should be updated regularly. And View Counter will only catch them if the IP can be identified as belonging to a blocked country.

 

So no matter which method you use, you are probably not going to get 100% blockage unless you want a full time job of managing the IP's.
