Guest Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Got a osc 2.3 site that has the mobile site app installed. We are getting hammered by bots with ip's from china. I tried adding deny ip's to the .htaccess file but it doesn't work for the mobile site which is a folder in the main site structure. Any ideas ???

Jack_mcs Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 The blocks in the roots .htaccess file should apply to the sub-directories but there are cases where it does not. If you don't have an .htaccess file in the mobile directory, create one. Then copy all f the deny's to that file. Instead of continually fighting this, you may want to install view counter addon and enable the country blocking option.

Jack_mcs Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Some shop owners want visitors from China on their sites so blocking all of China is not good for them. And it is difficult to know if a visitor from China is legitimate or not. You can install View Counter and block all of China if you want. Or block the IP's of the obvious hacking attempts it finds or search bots from China.
